Which software to use, where to get it and how to install it (in Windows)
In this lecture, we use a combination of Eclipse (a programing IDE) and the MinGW compiler. Both programs are OpenSource and can be distributed freely (see the license of the respective programs). If you want to use your own computer during the lecture, please download and install the following:
FIRST: MinGW
Download and install the tarball. You can get it from here. Once you have downloaded this file, start it, it is an automated installer. You will be asked what exactly you want to install, just mark EVERYTHING IN THE LIST! The rest is automatic.
SECOND: Eclipse (Ganymede edition)
Download and unzip the file (get it here). No need to install anything. You also need to have Java installed, but this is standard in Windows (should already be there).
To test if it has worked, start Eclipse and make a new project. If you can see C and C++ as an option, you are good to go.
All the above files are for Windows, if you have another operating system (Mac, Linux), please go to the respective Websites and get the right files
