Question

Eclipse C++ On Ubuntu installation Process

Answer 1

+3 A:

Your question is difficult to understand, but if I'm reading it correctly, you're trying to install the Java Runtime Environment and Eclipse Helios for C++ on Ubuntu.

The easiest way to install the JRE is to use the packages in the "partner" repository:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list:

sudo -e /etc/apt/sources.list

You should see a few lines that end with the word "partner." Remove the hash marks from the front of each of these lines.

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner

Now update your package list and install the Sun Java Runtime:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Then you can unzip the Eclipse tarball and run the eclipse binary from inside the tarball:

tar -zxf eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz
./eclipse

thanks ,Meyer, It sounds a good solution. But when I type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" system echo below:Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate.

@parsifal, what version of Ubuntu are you using? You didn't indicate so I assumed 10.04 Lucid, since that's the most recent. You can also use `apt-cache search '^sun-java'` to list all available Sun Java packages for your distribution.

Hi Meyer, i use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS -the Lucid Lynx.

parsifal 2010-09-25 02:55:50

and I have already installed openjdk,thanks all the same: )one of the problem is my cache is not large enough.

Answer 3

A:

Download page of Eclipse Helios (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages) gives 2 good alternatives for C++ developers on Linux:

A) Plain Vanilla C++ CDT: Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, (87 MB)

B) C++ CDT with inbuilt LinuxTools like valgrind, gprof,systemtap etc Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Linux Developers (includes Incubating components), (120 MB)

thanks, friend, I also down from office Eclipse. My linux has no jave envioroment, So when I enter ./eclipse ,system resposes with "a jre must be available before available before running eclipse"

You may need to do a Java (6) JRE update before you run eclipse.apt-get install sun-java6-jre. From your comment to Nick Meyer I understand that you have a problem doing this however. You can alternately try using the System->Synaptic Package Manager. I'm able to download the jre6 using this as the download repository: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu
