Eclipse is an open source cross-platform IDE. Under windows mingwin and gdb are supported, but the project is theoretically usable on linux and macosx.

A minor update to the Readme.txt

- .cdtproject and .project files should be placed in the torque root directory.
- conf.GCC* files should be placed into the torque/mk directory
- targets.map2dif.mk should be placed into the torque/tools directory

Thanxs Tim for posting this for me; I was going to submit the resource myself, but was waiting for feedback from yourself as well as Davis before I did so

PS
Any possibility of the changes to the mk files being migrated to CVS HEAD as well as the .cdtproject and .project files?

Sorry Ron - my schedule got ugly, then computer time got ugly, so I never got the chance to test it :-( Today is the first day where things finally started to be normal again.

This weekend I'll try and test it out on Mac OSX 10.2 and tell ya what happens (if someone test is on OSX before I get to it, speak up and say how it goes! :-)

I would also like to Thank Tim Gift and Ben Garney for speaking at IGC regarding open source tools as well as for taking the time to test drive this resource. Ben provided some very useful feedback as well as ideas for improving the usage of eclipse with TGE.

Over the next few weeks I will be working on getting the cvs part of eclipse functioning with TGE, then I might take a stroll and work on getting Stefan

This really is a great resource for the TGE, I was using MSYS and minGW to compile prior to the Eclipse support. Eclipse works like a champ, this is one resource I highly recommend.

For those of you who are installing all 3 products (MinGW, MSYS and Eclipse) the order of installation is important. To reduce headachs and general hair removal the following installation order is recommended

1) MinGW
2) MSYS
3) Eclipse

You could run into issues if you install MSYS before MinGW

This is a total breeze... Thanks so much for this.

Is it necessary to have the MSYS window open while compiling?

Stephen,

I find it easier just to leave it open, I tend to launch eclipse as such
./eclipse &

this allows me the freedom to use vi to modify the scripts as well as launch the game etc.

Do you still need to copy conf.GCC3.WIN32.mk into the mk directory after issuing this command: make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 BUILD=RELEASE COMPILER=GCC3? I saw older comments about doing so, but it was from 2003 and I figured the ReadMe.txt file would be updated to reflect that by now if it was still necessary.
