Question about Eclipse Platform

[jimmyv12]

How exactly do I compile and run C++ code in eclipse as though it were in pico? I've wrote code that I know works, just a simple "Hello World" program, but I can't figure out how to make the one file program run!

Do you have the C++ compiler installed? Did it come with the Eclipse platform? I had a problem the first time I downloaded Eclipse because I didn't get the right compiler.

To run in Eclipse, I believe is under one of the context menus. I don't currently have Eclipse in front of me otherwise I'd be of more assistance.

Also, try looking up some tutorials using Eclipse and go step by step, that's how I got my Android apps written. (Not posted, just played around with it)

To compile and run C++ code in Eclipse, you will need to first install the C++ development tools. Once installed, you can create a new C++ project and add your code file to it. To compile the code, you can click on the "Build" or "Compile" button in the toolbar or use the shortcut key Ctrl+B. This will generate an executable file in the project's build folder. To run the program, you can click on the "Run" button or use the shortcut key Ctrl+F11. This will execute the program and show the output in the console window.

If you are trying to run the program as though it were in pico, you may need to configure the project's build settings to use pico as the compiler. This can be done by going to Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings and selecting pico as the compiler. You may also need to specify the location of the pico compiler in the "Path and Symbols" section of the project's properties.

If you are still having trouble running your program, it may be helpful to consult the official Eclipse documentation or seek assistance from the Eclipse community forums. Additionally, you may want to check if there are any specific requirements for running programs in pico, such as certain libraries or dependencies that need to be included in the project.
