Eclipse IDE

Hey, I've been looking into the Eclipse C++ IDE, and had question. Does it support the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler? I really like how the Eclipse IDE looks, but I use libraries that I can't get source code to, and they don't have versions for other compilers.

An IDE is never bound to any specific compiler. You could even use the gcc in visual studio so I doubt that there won't be a way you can teach eclipse to use the msvc

Yes, but there are no known plugins, which will do the (quite complicated) setup for you. At least I don't know of any. Moreover, gcc can usually take all dlls that people come up with. You just need to find the proper command line options and tools.

What about static libraries though? I want to use Havok. And I don't know if DirectX 10/11 have GCC versions.
