Eclipse CDT+GTKMM

[Redscare]

Hey guys!! I am using the Eclipse CDT and program mainly in C++. I have tried anjuta, but I much prefer Eclipse CDT, mainly because the autocomplete in anjuta is terrible. Has anyone managed to use the Eclipse CDT and GTKMM together and compiled a working project? If so, could you please tell me how to setup Eclipse for GTKMM?

I am after the same thing.. I want to use libglade, trying to get it working right now... did you find any solution?

The reason for GTK and Eclipse.. cross-platform! I need to be able to take my software over to windows and re-build there.

More of the same, but in my case is CDT GTK-2 using C not C++. It should be the same, but after looking at CDT site for a guide onto how to link libraries I still can't manage to get a simple gtk hello world program. Any ideas over here?

I think I found it, but I'm not totaly sure. Once you have created a project go to:

Project-->Properties--->C/C++ Build---> Tool Settings tab ---> GCC C Compiler--->Directories

And then add /usr/include/gtk-2.0 or /usr/include/gtkmm

It seems like the easiest thing whould be to make your own makefile, and use a Standard make c/c++ project.

So you'll probably need to learn make basics (and pgk-config)

Only if the project is small; on a mid-big one, writing the makefile by yourself can be a nightmare. That's one of the points of using an IDE; to avoid not-coding work. Tha's my opinion.

Yes, you might say that. Problem is that (as far as I can see) eclipse is not mature enough.

If it's a big project, it would be a good idea to use automake/conf.

If your really want to do it from eclispe (managed build) do this:


pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4
pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.4

Everythink behind "-I" should go in extra include paths, and everything behind "-l" should go in libraries.

DISCLAIMER:
I'm *not* a very experienced eclipse user. (nor an gnu autotools expert or a gtk guru)

Yes, that's it. In addition you need to specify extra libraries under linker option. (see output from pgk-config)

I added this:
pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4
to 'command line pattern' of Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Tool settings -> GCC C++ Compiler and GCC C++ Liker.
It works for me.
