Installation of required Software

Currently, Eclipse 3.6 is not working properly in the labs at SITE

We will use the following procedure to install all the required software:

1. Download and install Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers. Indigo Version.
2. Install MinGW following the procedure described here:
   * Download MinGW at this location MinGW
   * Install it and DO NOT FORGET TO SELECT the C++ compiler component during the installation.

   Now add the Windows environment variable:

   *Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".
   *Click Advanced -> Environment Variables.
   *In the box entitled "System Variables" scroll down to the line that says "PATH" and double-click the entry.
   *You will be presented with a dialog box with two text boxes, the bottom text box allows you to edit the PATH variable.
   *It is very important that you do not delete the existing values in the PATH string, this will cause all sorts of problems for you!
   *Scroll to the end of the string and at the end add ";C:\MinGW\bin".
   *press OK -> OK -> OK and you are done.
