title: How do I set up C/C++ on Eclipse in Windows?
body: <p>I just did the default Java (8) installation of Eclipse on my Windows (8, yikes) laptop, and it seems to work just fine. However, I'm not as good at Java as I am with C and C++, and for some work it's more expeditious to use C/C++ than Java.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, the Eclipse installer for Windows doesn't make it very easy to set up Eclipse for C/C++. It looks like I'd be fine with Linux or BSD, but then I'd have to scrounge up another laptop (because I need the mobility) and install Linux or BSD on it. Yes, I need to leave Windows on this machine, so Windows hate isn't going to help me.</p>
  
  <p>My lazy web search turned up this article: "<a href="https://orfe.princeton.edu/help/article-296" rel="nofollow">Install Eclipse for C++ Development on Windows 7 64-bit</a>". Is there a better installation guide than that, or does anyone care to describe the process in more detail?</p>
