Section 1 Create a New Empty project:

Short Instructions:

o File—New—C++ Project [Give a name to the Project] o Click on Empty Project

o Click on Cygwin GCC o Click on Finish

Detailed Instructions for creating the New Empty Project

Step 1: Create a C++ project

1.1. Run Eclipse C++ by double clicking on the eclipse icon on the PC desktop

1.3. The C++ Project Wizard opens.

 In the Project name field, type in a name for the project, for example Helloworld.  In the Project type field, select Empty Project under Executable folder.

 In the Toolchain field, select a set of tools (compiler, linker, assembler or debugger) to build the project. You may have more than one toolchain depending on what is installed on your system. However, in the example below “Installing Eclipse C++ for Window and Linux”, only Cygwin GCC was installed.

1.4. Click Finish. A project is created with default settings and a full set of configurations based on the project type and the toolchain you selected.

Section 2 Create a Source File:

Short Instructions

o File—New—Source File

o Give the name of the Source Folder which is the project name you created in previous step. o Give a name to the Source File. It must end with .cpp (notice the period before the c) o Paste the source Program

o Save

Step 2: Create a Source File

2.1. Select File  New  Source File

 A pop up window open. In the Source file field, type the name of your new source file, for example hello.cpp.

 Click Finish.

2.2. Type the following Sample code into the blank editor; if you are testing and practicing. You can type or paste your own code if you are working on your own program.

#include <iostream> using namespace std;

int main() {

cout << “My name is xxxxxx” << endl; // prints My name is xxxxxxx cout << “My TxState ID is xxxxx” << endl; // prints My TxState ID is xxxxx

Note: Replace xxxx xxxxxx with your name and your ID

2.3. Select File  Save (or Ctrl + S which means both keys must be pressed simultaneously).

Section 3 Build a Project:

Short Instructions

o Build [Hammer in the tool bar]…. Connect all the collected pieces.

Note that this icon is set to debug by default so there is nothing else to do with this. o Correct errors pointed out by the Builder

Detailed Instructions

Step 3: Build a Project

3.1. Select Project  Build Project

Or select project from the Project Explorer tab. Right click and choose Build Project

3.2. If the project builds successfully, the following message will be displayed in the Console view. **** Build of configuration Debug for project helloworld ****

make all

Building file: ../hello.cpp Invoking: Cygwin C++ Compiler

g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD -MP -MF"hello.d" -MT"hello.d" -o "hello.o" "../hello.cpp"

Finished building: ../hello.cpp

Building target: helloworld.exe Invoking: Cygwin C++ Linker

g++ -o "helloworld.exe" ./hello.o Finished building target: helloworld.exe

**** Build Finished ****

Note: If the project builds unsuccessfully, error or warning messages will be displayed in the Console view. Correct the errors.

Section 4 Run the Application

Print Source Codes

5.1. Click on the Editor (hello.cpp) – Also called the C++ Perspective or source code window 5.2. Select File  Print

5.3. Next be sure to select the lab printer which should begin its name as cs_derr325****.

7.4 Click on EDIT—it will show your source file

7.5 Save the source File on your Flash Drive (it will be displayed after clicking on the Computer selection in the start window).

Section 8: File Transfer from Flash Drive to your work space

8.2 Run Eclipse C++. If it is a new project, create an empty project

8.3 Access your workspace and drag and drop your source file into your project

8.4 Go back to Eclipse C++ and refresh.

8.5 you will have your source file. Build and Run.

Section 9: Save and Store Files Using SSH (Secure Shell)

9.1 Click on the SSH Secure Shell Client icon. If you don’t have SSH Secure Shell Client, you can download it free at:

http://downloads.cs.txstate.edu/os/windows/remote_access/SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe
