how to use MinGW and Eclipse for OTTD development in win32 (2008-09-06)

This should give you a rough idea how to

use win32 eclipse IDE +debugger (no sound or music), compile complete release using mingw/msys

for ottd development

first, get msys, see Compiling on MinGW

• get eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/
• get cdt http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php
• get subclipse http://subclipse.tigris.org/

• set eclipse workspace somewhere in the msys home dir

• download ottd from svn svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk using eclipse "svn repository exploring perspective" and creating new c/c++ project

• in msys:

 ./configure
 make

eclipse: refresh

eclipse project settings / c&c++ build settings:

mingw c++ linker flags: -mwindows

gcc c++ compiler flag:

-Wno-multichar

remove -Wall

c/c++ general / paths and symbols / includes / C++

add objs/lang

source path:

src

^ quit eclipse and edit .cproject

try to build

try to launch

ottd arguments -s null -m null

debug: download mingw gdb into msys, give path in eclipse project
