I do Java development with Eclipse also (mostly on Linux but sometimes on Windows)... and also use Eclipse for C++ occasionally (I also use Visual C++ Express and Dev-C++ as well, along with emacs, gnu C++, etc...). Eclipse works quite well for C++ development, and is a similar paradigm to the project-oriented development environment of other IDEs like VC++, Anjuta, Dev-C++, etc. Of course, if you've been doing Java development on Eclipse, it's exactly the same. It will use gdb directly, if it's available on your system. Eclipse also uses make underneath to build, so it should be available also. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
