Your First C Program in Eclipse
The first thing you have to do is to select the C/C++ perspective. You can do this by clicking the icon pointed to by the red arrow and selecting C/C++.
Your workbench is now configured for C/C++ development.
Next select
File, New, C Project from the main menu.
Enter the name of your project,
FirstCProject, and for the executable type select
Hello World ANSI C Project, and then click on the
Finish button.
Notice that you now have a simple Hello World program in the editor window. If you like you may make a small change to the program and save it or you can just leave it as is.
To execute the program select
Run As from the
Run menu. Then select
Local C/C++ Application.
The output of your program is displayed in the
Console window at the bottom of the workbench.
