| <h1>Installing Eclipse and PTP</h1> |
| <p>Updated a bit for PTP Release 1.1.1 (1 November 2007): PTP update site now available to install PTP. |
| <p>Note that PTP Release 1.1.1 requires <b>Eclipse 3.2.2 and CDT 3.1.2</b>. |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/release_notes/2.0"> |
| PTP 2.0</a>, available around early 2008, will use the more recent Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) and CDT 4.0. |
| <p>To get Eclipse 3.2, |
| <ul> |
| <li>Go to eclipse Downloads, "Find out more..." under Eclipse Classic, and click on |
| <a href=http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.php"> |
| Archived Platform Builds</a>. Then click on <a href="http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/index.php">Build 3.2.2</a> |
| and download the SDK for your platform. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>To install Eclipse, the CDT, and then PTP, do the following: |
| <ol> |
| <li>Download either the "light" (platform) version of Eclipse or the full "SDK" version: |
| go to the <a href="http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/index.php"> |
| Eclipse download site for release 3.2.2</a> as described above, and then do one of the following: |
| <ul type="a"> |
| <li>For the "light" version, scroll down to the heading "Platform Runtime Binary" and download the tar (or zip) file for your platform. |
| This is about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of the full SDK, and doesn't include the Java or Eclipse Plug-in development parts, which I assume you don't need. |
| The UI is simpler since you don't have all those additional options. |
| <li> The Eclipse SDK works just fine, though, if you prefer that, and may be more complete. |
| On the main downloads page for 3.2.2 above, see |
| "Eclipse SDK" near the top of the page, and download the SDK for your platform. |
| <p>Eclipse 3.3 has a pre-built version for C/C++ development, so that should simplify installation in the future. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| After downloading and extracting Eclipse (zip or tar file), there's nothing |
| else to the installation process. |
| In the extracted folder, simply run the <b>eclipse</b> executable file. |
| It will ask for a workspace location; the default is fine. |
| <p> |
| <li>Install the CDT (C/C++ Development Toolkit) as well. |
| You can do this from the Eclipse UI as follows: |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Help > Software Updates > Find and Install... |
| <br><img src="images/install1_softwareUpdates.gif"> |
| <p> |
| <li>Select "Search for new features to install", |
| <br><img src="images/install2_searchForNewFeatures.gif"> |
| <p> |
| <li>Click Next, Select "Callisto Discovery Site" and click "Finish." |
| <br>(The Callisto discovery site lists Eclipse plug-ins guaranteed to work with the 3.2 version of Eclipse.) |
| <br><img src="images/install3_Callisto.gif"> |
| <p> |
| <li> When the Callisto Update site is loaded you see another Dialog. |
| <br>Expand the "Callisto Discovery Site" item and check the "C and C++ Development" item. |
| |
| |
| <br><img src="images/install4_CDT.gif"> |
| <p> |
| <li>Click Next, accept the license terms, Click Next, and click Finish. |
| <li>On the Verification page, click "Install All." |
| <li>When it's done, click "Yes" to restart the Eclipse workbench. Then you can |
| install PTP from its update site as well. |
| (Jump to step 3. below...) |
| Or click "no" |
| to close down Eclipse if you prefer to install PTP from downloaded tar.gz files. |
| <p> |
| <li>Note: the above installs the runtime version of CDT. If you intend to develop |
| plug-ins with CDT, be sure to get the full SDK version. |
| <br>The CDT SDK <i>as well as the runtime</i> are available from the CDT Update Site |
| (as opposed to the Callisto discovery site mentioned above). |
| The CDT Update Site is available by entering the following URL |
| as the Remote Site in the Update Manager. |
| <ul><li>http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/callisto |
| </li></ul> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| <li>To download and install PTP, either |
| <ul> |
| <li>(Recommended) Use the update manager and the PTP update site. |
| See <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/releases/1.1.1/">the update site</a> for more details. |
| <li>or close Eclipse, download PTP and PLDT from the |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ptp/downloads.php">PTP downloads page.</a> |
| </li> |
| <p> |
| <li>Now follow the instructions in the <a href="releases/release-1.1.1.php">release notes and installation instructions</a> page. |
| (You'll need to build a small stub for your platform.) |
| </ol> |
