* How do I contribute to this FAQ?
+
[[Category:CDT]] [[Category:FAQ]]
 
+
Simply edit this page and add content. You can now use your bugzilla username and password to gain access.
+
 
+
* Is it really that easy?
+
 
+
Yes!
+
 
+
*How do I build CDT from CVS if I want a more recent build than is on the downloads page?
+
 
+
# Switch to the CVS Perspective: Window > Open Perspective > Others ... and select "CVS Repository Exploring"
+
# Context menu in "CVS Repositories" View, New > Repository Location
+
# Location - Host: dev.eclipse.org  Repository Path:  /cvsroot/tools
+
# Authentication -  User: anonymous (no password required)
+
# Connection - type: pserver 
+
# Click 'Finish'
+
# Open up the resulting /cvsroot/tools tree.. find org.eclipse.cdt-releng/all
+
# On each of the projects under 'all', click context menu > Check Out
+
 
+
*How do I export it so that it can be used with an external Eclipse installation?
+
 
+
: You can either:
+
 
+
: a) Export the CDT feature via File->Export->Plugin Development->Deployable Features.  This will automatically export all the required plugins.
+
 
+
: b) Export all the plugins etc. individually or all at once via File->Export->Plugin Development->Deployable Plugins and Fragments. However, this is more error prone and you're better off doing a).
+
 
+
: c) Use the ANT stuff in org.eclipse.cdt.releng to build CDT the way the nightly build does.
+
 
+
* I want to differntiate between the "Debug" and "Release" modes in my project. Is there any preprocessors in use already (some #define like "#define DEBUG" for Debug mode) or should I have to define them manually in my project. I find verbose in project options, but I am not sure how to use it ?
+
 
+
== Compilers and other 3rd party tools ==
+
 
+
''Also see entries in [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/cdt-home/user/faq.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project#compilers official FAQ]''
+
* Does CDT include a compiler?
+
 
+
CDT does not come with a compiler, so if you do not have one you will need to install one. Follows
+
are options available to you:
+
 
+
: MacOS X: Install the developer tools DVD that came with your computer or with you MacOS X DVD.
+
: Linux: If not already installed, it should be available on your installation CDs.
+
: Windows: You have a choice of compilers available:
+
:: - [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin]: Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows, includes GCC.
+
:: - [http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW]: Environment that includes development toolsets
+
:: - [http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ DJGPP]: DJGPP is a complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS.
