Thread: Help with Eclipse IDE

Hi guys, I am really rusty at C programming and looking to restart my interest in programming.

My work laptop wont let me download visual studios, I get some error that says encryption threshold has been reached when I try to install it, from the work virus checker.

So i thought I would look into some other favourite IDEs and saw Eclypse was the second most widely used.

I tried a basic hello world program just to get the ball rolling and get a feel for how to run a programme before I start getting into making anything more interesting, but the program won't run.

Can anyone figure out what the error means and why the program wont run?

Eclipse is just an IDE.
It doesn't come with a compiler, hence the "g++ not found in PATH" messages.

If you want an all-in-one complete package, try code::blocks.
Binary releases - Code::Blocks and get codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe

codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe is an all-in-one package.
You just install it, and you get the compiler, debugger, editor all wrapped up for you.

There is nothing else needed to start writing code.

Can it handle python also?

There is a old Python Plugin that you likely will need to build in order to use; I have no idea whether the plugin is very good.
