| ### About Eclipse IDE for C/C++ | |||
| **Eclipse** is the most widely used **IDE** for **Java** and it is famous for its **Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE)**, but there is also a cool version of the **IDE** which supports **C/C++**, for more info: | |||
| https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2018-12/r/eclipse-ide-cc-developers | |||
| In this guide we will cover the various installation steps. | |||
| ### Configuring mingw-w64 on Windows | |||
| In order to work with **raylib** and **Eclipse** you need to download the **Mingw-w64 Installer** and follow the steps in the wizard. | |||
| When prompted choose the following settings: | |||
| * **Version:** 7.2.0 | |||
| * **Architecture:** x86_64 | |||
| * **Threads:** win32 | |||
| Then proceed with the installation. | |||
| Once it is finished ensure that there is the path where your **MinGW-w64** has been installed to e.g., **C:\mingw\mingw64\bin** in your **PATH** environment variable (if there is not just add it manually). | |||
| ### Building raylib | |||
| You can follow one of this guides for building **raylib** on your operative system: | |||

| ### Creating a new C/C++ Project | |||
| * Run **Eclipse IDE for C/C++**. | |||
| * From the main menu choose **File > New > C/C++ Project**. | |||
| * Select **C++ Managed Build** and **Next >**. | |||
| * Write the **Project name** then select **Hello World C++ Project** and **MinGW CC** under **Toolchains**. | |||

| ### Configuring the Project for raylib | |||
| * From the main menu choose **Project > Properties**. | |||
| * Now go to **C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings** tab. | |||
| * Under **GCC C++ Compiler > Includes > Include paths (-I)** add the path to your **raylib/src** folder. | |||
| * Under **MinGW C++ Linker > Libraries > Libraries (-l)** add **raylib** and **gdi32** libs. | |||
| * Under **MinGW C++ Linker > Libraries > Library search path (-L)** add the path to the **raylib** static library which you previously builded. | |||
| ### Build and Run! | |||
| * Under the tab **Project Explorer** (you find on the left side of the screen) right click on your project. | |||
| * Select **Build Project** from the popup menu for building your project. | |||
| * Finally right click again on your project and then select **Run As > Local C/C++ Application**. | |||
