<h1>CDT overview</h1>
<p>The C/C++ development tool (CDT) is a set of Eclipse plugins that provide a
C/C++ development environment on the Eclipse platform. For more information on
Eclipse, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Concepts > Workbench</b>.</p>
<p>The CDT provides a graphical interface for many of the same tools
that you use from the command line. The CDT communicates with, and interprets
messages from, utilities that include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Build (such as make).</li>
<li>Compile (such as gcc). For more information, see
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">http://gcc.gnu.org</a>.</li>
<li>Debug (such as gdb). For more information, see
<a href="http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/">http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The CDT is launched as the C/C++ perspective of the Eclipse workbench. The
C/C++ perspective consists of an editor and the following
views:</p>
<ul>
<li>The C/C++ Projects view lists all C/C++ projects.</li>
<li>The Navigator view lists all Eclipse projects.</li>
<li>The Tasks view lists items such as tasks, compiler warnings and errors.</li>
<li>The C-Build view displays the output from make.</li>
<li>The Properties view lists the properties of a file that has been selected in
the C/C++ Projects view or the Navigator view.</li>
<li>The Outline view lists file components.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more information, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Concepts > Perspectives</b>.</p>
<h3>Additional information</h3>
<p>Refer to <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/">http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/</a>
for additional information on the CDT project, including:</p>
<ul>
<li> CDT newsgroups: Ask questions on how to use the CDT.</li>
<li> User FAQ: View answers to the most common questions about using the
CDT.</li>
<li> Developer FAQ: View answers to the most common questions about
building and extending the CDT.</li>
<li> CDT community web: Learn about plugins and tools developed by and for the
CDT community.</li>
</ul>
<h3>CDT updates</h3>
<p>The <b>Install/Update</b> perspective provides information on your current
Eclipse installation and lets you manage updates. For more information, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Tasks > Updating
features with the update manager</b>.</p>

installed, click <b>Help > Software Updates > New Updates</b> .</p>
