How so I install Eclipse on Linux

aedwa2 — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 01:19:45 GMT

My windows version on Eclipse locks, crashes,and burns about every day. Sometimes it requires re installing to fix. I have been using Eclipse for Android for 2 years and that has never happened. Anyway, I decided to try Eclipse for Edison on Linux and find the instructions a little lacking.

I downloaded Eclipse from https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/532593 and did what they said and nothing at all happened. I managed to discover that I needed JDK and installed Open JDK. Changed the permissions on the launcher and it ran but Eclipse would not start, permission denied. I changed the permission to executable and Eclipse opened along with a string of error messages (more than a dozen pair)

Unable to find full path for "i586-poky-linux-gcc"
Unable to find full path for "i586-poky-linux-g++"

I can't seem to find help online on this one. Probably something simple so please educate me.

And need I say that the instuctions given are a little lacking:

After finishing, go to the created directory devkit-ide-linux and execute the devkit-launcher file to launch the SDK IDE Eclipse for application development.

Thanks for your help.

Well, just search the files

Well, just search the files and find that they are in some directory way down in the tree and if you put them in /bin then some of the error messages go away.

But the program examples will still not compile.

The new error message is "cannot run ...gcc reason unknown".

I changed the permissions and now I go onto the next error. cc1 is missing. Can't fix this one.

I really would like some instructions on how to do this. Trial and error is not working for me.

I started over and once I got the file to a tar file I used tar -xvf yourfile.tar and things look better. The program runs and compiles and it was easier than in the windows version.
