Hello pals, what about the eclipse-cdt packages in Linux Fedora 32? C/C++ Development Tools

[christian1 (Christian Bueno)]

I know that you can install “C/C++ Development tools” by

Helps> Install New Software>
Work width: Eclipse Repository - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12
Then expand Programming Language> Then check “C/C++ Development Tools”> Next…> Finish

And now you can begin programming in C/C++ in eclipse without problem, but regardless that, if anybody like to use the package manager DNF, why there is no eclipse-cdt packages in Linux fedora-32?

Eclipse can be installed from flathub or fedora’s flatpak repo:

 flatpak install flathub org.eclipse.Committers

@christian1

eclipse-cdt

See Overview - rpms/eclipse-cdt - src.fedoraproject.org, you are are right, a build for F32 is missing. I am not familiar with Eclipse, so no idea what’s going on. I thought CDT was just a plugin for Eclipse.

Here is a snippet from what’s written in Gnome Software about Eclipse (flatpak from Fedora repo):

Yes, It is.

There are 3 ways to install Eclipse IDE in Linux Fedora-32.

1. By the official Eclipse installer from the official website.
   eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz for 64 bits computers
   It is the easy way for newbies because you have separate packages e.g. C/C++, Java, JEE.

2. By flatpak from flathub repository, run in the terminal the following command
   flatpak insall flathub org.eclipse.Java
   It will have by default support for Java.

3. By dnf (rpm) from the official fedora repositories, run in the terminal the following command
   sudo dnf install eclipse
   It will have by default support for Java. (eclipse-jdt packages).
   DNF have separate packages too:

   • Java: eclipse-jdt
   • JavaEE: eclipse-webtools-javaee
   • C/C++: eclipse-cdt (*It is missing)

How to add support for e.g. C/C++, Java, JEE regardless the installation way?

In whatever way from above you like to install Eclipse, after that you can add support from the menu bar of Eclipse IDE.
