Irrlicht 1.7.1 and Eclipse (3.5) Galileo

Post by IgnisPhaseOne »

Hello guys! I was wondering if anybody used Eclipse to develop for Irrlicht, and if anybody had some tips on how to set the two things up together.

I'm using Windows 7, and I have MinGW and CDT set up properly so that I can compile and run C++ programs. My biggest problem is integrating it into Eclipse; it can't find irrlicht.h and it's infuriating me because it appears in the Eclipse "includes" folder for the project...

I will screenshot some of my details later, but figured I'd post here and see if someone could get back to me while I was working on getting details to you guys. Thanks!

I use Eclipse. Setup is very simple. Just make sure you don't have spaces in your paths, since MinGW doesn't like them.

Hi IgnisPhaseOne,

I'm using Eclipse for irrlicht too (on W7 and Ubuntu Linux). Its very easy:
just rightklick on the Project ->properties -> C/C++ Build ->Settings :
- GCC C++ Compiler -> Directories:
add the include dir of irrlicht.
- GCC C++ Linker -> Libraries
add "irrlicht"
(and "GL" on Linux)
-> Library search path
add the path to the libirrlicht.a

this should work.
