The Eclipse CDT thing lets you use makefiles...in fact, I think if you're using something other than the GNU tools, you have to use a makefile.

You can specify a tool to run. Just has to accept arguments similar to GNU make. Jam, for example, can be used.

I noticed that the makefile posted in the other thread doesn't handle asm files. How can one remedy this?

I think requiring any particular environment is quite poor.

Luckily people have done some great work to create tools to allow us to use our own chosen systems.

Personally, I use kate (the KDE Advanced Text Editor) and a Makefile expanded from the one I found here:

Providing great (standardized, open, free, interchangeable) tools instead of mediocre "environments" is much appreciated.

k -- well - i have it all figured out for those that are as in the dark as i was...
needed files:
eclipse : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php
C tool : http://update.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/...-win32.x86.zip
-and-
http://update.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/...-win32.x86.zip
compiler: mcc18 (provided from first)
make tool: mingw32 http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinG...3.exe?download


'n' once its all installed, make sure they're all set under ur PATH variable and when you create a new project, make sure u set the make command to use mingw32-make

i use mingw 'cause its got g++ built in, so i c'n use it to make non-first related programs aswell

and you will need something similar to that makefile example on the thread above

It's much easier to use Eclipse's internal update mechanism than it is to try to download a file outside of eclipse and installing it.

Trust me. It's just not worth it.
