Setting up Eclipse

Use the following installation steps to setup an Eclipse development environment for p4c. Note that the following assumes you have already performed the preliminary environment bootstrap, as described in README.

  1. Download Eclipse Luna for C/C++ from Eclipse webpage
  • Go to Downloads -> Eclipse IDS for C/C++ Developers -> Linux 64-bit

  1. tar xvfz eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

  2. Move eclipse folder to desired location.

  3. Open Eclipse

  4. Create workspace

  5. Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace...

  • Search for c++
  • Check that Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) is installed (it was for me)
  • If not, install it.
  1. Create a new C++ project from File -> New -> Project
  • Select C/C++ -> Makefile Project with Existing Code, click Next
  • For the Project Name enter something like p4c
  • Navigate to the directory that contains the p4c directory, something like /home/mike/p4c
  • Check the C and C++ boxes
  • Select GNU Autotools Toolchain as the Toolchain for Indexer Settings
  1. Setup C++11 support
  • Right click your project and click Properties
  • Under C/C++ General, click Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc.
  • Select the Providers tab
  • Highlight the CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings
  • Uncheck Use global provider shared between projects box
  • In the box labeled Command to get compiler specs, add -std=c++11
  • Move CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings to the top by repeatedly clicking Move Up
  • Click Apply and then OK
  1. Add C++11 support to Window
  • Go to Window -> Preferences
  • Go to C/C++ -> Build -> Settings
  • Click the Discovery tab
  • Highlight CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings [Shared]
  • In the box labeled Command to get compiler specs, add -std=c++11
  • Click Apply

9.5. Change the build location

  • Project -> Properties
  • Select C/C++ build
  • In the build location choose "FileSystem" and browse to the p4c/build folder.
  1. Add additional include files needed by your sub-project to include path
  • Right click your project and click Properties
  • Highlight C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols
  • In the Includes tab, highlight GNU C++
  • Click Add and then File system... and navigate to header files that you need to include
  • Click OK
  1. Right click project and go to Index
  • Select Re-resolve Unresolved Includes
  1. Right click project and go to Index
  • Select Rebuild
  • Wait for indexer to complete

  1. Close Eclipse and then open it again.

  2. Setup build

  • This seemed to "just work" for me. I clicked build, and it ran make.
  1. Setup Run
  • Under Run Configurations I was able to navigate to this file and add command arguments.
  1. Setup editor
  • Window/Preferences/Text editor -> insert spaces for tabs
