A quick google search yielded this.

Eclipse C++ development tutorial

You can use Eclipse and gcc together for free, and it will be very similar to what WindRiver is. My personal preference is to use my favorite text editor and then just use GCC directly with makefiles, but I doubt that is what you should start out doing.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this tutorial, but it looks about right. There are probably other tutorials out there too, but this was the first one I found that looked good.
