Platform requirements

Operating systems: Linux® (not necessarily PowerPC®-based)

Software:

  • Eclipse 3.2.0 or above
  • C/C++ Develepment Tooling (CDT) 3.1.0 or above
  • GCC/g++ 4.1.0 or above
  • an unzip utility
Note that it is possible this plug-in will work on older versions of Eclipse, CDT, or GCC/g++, but it has not been tested on those configurations.

Installation instructions

  1. Download the zip file. The directory structure of the zip file is as follows:
      plugins/
      com.ibm.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ppc.ui.<version>.jar
  2. Install the zip file as follows:
    % cd <eclipse installation directory containing the "plugins" subdirectory>  (for example: /usr/local/eclipse3.2.1)
    % unzip <location of downloaded zip file>
    
  3. Double-check that the plug-in was installed: Start up Eclipse and click on Help > About Eclipse SDK > Plug-in Details. Look for PowerPC® Switch Extensions for the Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling. If it is not there, then re-check the steps above and verify that the com.ibm.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ppc.ui.<version>.jar file is located in the <eclipse installation directory>/plugins directory.
