I’m about to teach intro C++ class and would like to use Eclipse for the development/learning. In order for students to setup Eclipse C++ to work on Windows it will not be very intuitive to install the compiler then install Eclipse and configure it. My question, is there a way to bundle them together and then provide students with those files to extract on their computer and start development.
If you install MinGW to the default install location
C:\MinGWthen the Eclipse CDT will automatically detect the MinGW toolchain and configure itself correctly.If you run into issues make sure the PATH variable points to
C:\MinGW\bin, this can be done automatically by providing a script to your students but may not be neccecary as the MinGW installer should do it automatically.
