> I installed Eclipse CDT on Ubuntu 10.10 (latest). The setup was extremely
> easy and it works perfectly. Subclipse also works the same as in Windows. I
> could write up a step-by-step installation guide for linux if you would
> like. There are a few differences with the setup and for those who are not
> that familiar with how to get packages installed, it could be intimidating
> (apt-get etc.) Let me know if you would like to have the installation guide
> for the lab website and I'll send it to you. The same procedure should work
> for most of the linux distributions, Debian, all the buntu's, openSUSE,
> CentOS, Arch. The projects have to be slightly reconfigured to use the GNU
> gcc instead of cygwin gcc.
> 
> For Windows, I have found that Code::Blocks works very well for tracing.
> It's a little less powerful than Eclipse and doesn't have as many features
> but the console works. I have not found a good Subversion plug-in for
> Code::Blocks and from my research, it seems there might not be a very good
> one.

> After reading a bunch of forums and going through the Eclipse bugzilla site,
> the console problem with the latest Eclipse CDT and Windows is an ongoing
> issue which doesn't have a patch that works. Versions of Eclipse prior to
> 3.0.1 RC1 (I think) don't have the bug.
