Dependencies

You need eclipse version 3.2.1 or newer and the CDT plugin version
3.1.1 or newer to run the QT integration plugin successfully. Both are
Available for download from the Eclipse project:

Http://www.eclipse.org/downloads and

Http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php

Installation on Linux

1. Download the Qt Eclipse Integration package corresponding to your Linux distribution.

   For
   Older gcc 3.3 systems like Ubuntu 5.04, Red Hat WS 4 or SuSE 9.3, use
   The package with "gcc3.3" after the version number. The other package is
   For newer systems like Ubuntu 6.06, SuSE 10 or Fedora Core 6.

2. Find your eclipse/plugins folder.

   If you installed Eclipse
   /Usr/local, you will find the directory/usr/local/eclipse/plugins
   There. If you used the package management system of your Linux
   Distribution to install Eclipse, this directory might possibly be
   /Usr/lib/eclipse/plugins.

3. Unpack the package.

   Go to the location where you found
   Eclipse/plugins directory (I. e.,/usr/local or/usr/lib in the example
   And untar the Qt Eclipse Integration package; e.g.

    cd /usr/local tar xzf ~/Downloads/qt-eclipse-integration-linux.x86-<version>.tar.gz

   You may need to be the root user to do this.

4. Start Eclipse with a clean configuration.

   We highly recommended that you start Eclipse once from the command line

    eclipse -clean

   After you have unpacked the Qt Eclipse Integration ins and
   Feature. This will not change anything in your workspace but will clear
   Eclipse's caches.

Uninstallation on Linux

1. Remove the installed plugins and feature.

   Go to the location where
   You installed the Qt Eclipse Integration package; e.g .,
   /Usr/local/eclipse or/usr/lib/eclipse, and remove all files/directories
   In plugins/and features/that startCom. trolltech. qtcppcpp

    cd /usr/local/eclipse rm -r plugins/com.trolltech.qtcppcpp* rm -r features/com.trolltech.qtcppcpp*

2. Restart Eclipse with a clean configuration.

   We highly recommended that you start Eclipse once from the command line

    eclipse -clean

   Feature. This will not change anything in your workspace but will clear
   Eclipse's caches.
