Just a quick video guide to setting up Eclipse for both C++ and Java development under Windows. This is useful for one of the modules that I teach at DCU in Object-oriented Programming. It uses MinGW and CDT to allow GNU c++ to work and the Java SDK for Java.
Hi Derek,
I couldn’t find a good step-by-step tutorial to Cross-Compile and Remote Deploy from Windows for BeagleBone using Eclipse and some gcc Toolchain. Therefore I did a little research myself and after being successful I decided to put my results online.
The goal was to configure such a toolchain for Windows without using Cygwin or a Virtual Machine with Linux.
If you’re interested please check

Have fun

Derek,
*GREAT* tutorial that you’ve created.
The following is a helpful comment based on Daniele Maddaluno’s post of 3.17.2013:
Using the default location of “C:\MinGW” as used in the video, the “Path” variable of Windows should be appended with: “;C:\MinGW\bin” so the .dll’s and gdb.exe are found (better than copying the files into the /windows/system32 directory or another directory that is already defined via the “path” variable)
HI sir i am a working on beagleboard thesedays and due to your guidance i have been able to crosscompile C/C++ codes for beagleboard but now i am trying to develop a GUI application using gtk and eclipse C/C++ CDT but i cannot find any toolchain for arm crosscompiling please guide me in this regard.
thank you and pardon me for my improper english.
I’ll stick to some objective positive and negative stuff:
– C++ does have a crazy number of features, and that is both what makes it powerful and unwieldy.
– C++ does provide tighter integration with low-level stuff and more performance than you’ll generally get out of higher-level languages. Sure, you can call into C from most any language, but it’s more natural in C++.
– There’s a huge amount of C++ out there, like it or not. There will continue to be millions of lines of C++ behind desktop applications for a good while to come. It’s not going to be wholesale rewritten.
