After you have installed the Intel® C++ Compiler for 32-bit or Itanium®-based applications, the Intel® Eclipse integration support, and the Eclipse package, which contains a copy of Eclipse and CDT* and is provided with the Intel® C++ Compiler, you can start Eclipse in two ways: you can use the Intel supplied Eclipse launchers or invoke Eclipse directly yourself.
To invoke Eclipse with the Intel supplied Eclipse launchers, execute the iccec or idbec shell script. With the default Compiler installation, execute iccec or idbec as follows:
/opt/intel/cc/9.1.xxx/bin/iccec
or
/opt/intel/idb/9.1.xxx/idbec
where xxx indicates a package number.
The iccec or idbec script opens the Eclipse IDE:
You can also use iccec or idbec to pass Eclipse-specific parameters, such as:
-data <path> - sets the location for the Eclipse workspace
-showlocation - shows the location of the workspace in the Eclipse window title bar.
For example:
/opt/intel/cc/9.1.xxx/bin/iccec -data /cpp/eclipse -showlocation
From the Eclipse Help menu, select Help Contents > Workbench User's Guide > Tasks > Running Eclipse for the complete list of Eclipse startup parameters.
To invoke Eclipse directly, some additional setup is required to use the Intel® C++ Compiler and the Intel® Debugger within Eclipse. This setup is required if you are using the versions of Eclipse and CDT provided by Intel in the Eclipse package and you want to invoke Eclipse directly. It is also required if you are using your own version of Eclipse and CDT obtained from www.eclipse.org/ with the Intel Eclipse compiling and debugging support being integrated.
Note:As an option, during installation of the compiler and debugger, you can integrate the Intel® Eclipse Compiler and Debugger support into an already existing version of Eclipse.
If you want to use the Intel® C++ Compiler and/or the Intel® Debugger within Eclipse, run the scripts iccvars.sh or iccvars.csh. The idbvars.sh or idbvars.csh scripts should be invoked prior to invoking Eclipse. These scripts are automatically provided when the compiler and debugger are installed. After running these scripts, you can invoke and run Eclipse with the Intel® Compiler and the Intel® Debugger. To invoke Eclipse, run the executable "eclipse." This executable is located in the top level directory used to install Eclipse. With a default compiler installation, where the user selects to install the Intel supplied Eclipse package, invoke the executable as follows:
/opt/intel/eclipsepackage/eclipse version/eclipse/eclipse
where “eclipse version” is a version of Eclipse.
You can specify Eclipse-specific parameters to the eclipse command.
From the Eclipse Help menu, select Help Contents > Workbench User's Guide > Tasks > Running Eclipse for the complete list of Eclipse startup parameters.
