Question

I use eclipse CDT (Juno release) and I’ve been trying out to be able to see the kind of error output when compiling as we have in Visual Studio.

Instead “Problems” view seems very limited in making us see the compiler errors (using same compiler as Visual Studio).

A simple example. If you have a simple typo

typedef std::function(void(int)) Func;

VS Output shows immediately:

    error C2955: 'std::function' : use of class template requires template argument list
1>          c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 11.0\vc\include\functional(554) : see declaration of 'std::function'

By comparison, using same compiler under CDT I get errors in completely different lines of code, most of it in the area where the wrongly defined typedef is used not in the original place. Is it possible at least to see the “raw compiler output” in a different window in order to have a clue as to what is going on ?

Answer 1

For compiler output, you have to check the Console tab. It’s one of the tabs placed to the right of the Problems tab you are on.
