Starting Eclipse*

If Eclipse* and CDT are installed on your system, follow these steps to initialize the compiler environment and start Eclipse*:

1. Set the necessary environment variables by entering the following at the command line:

   • source <install-dir>/bin/compilervars.sh <architecture> (for Bash shell)

   • source <install-dir>/bin/compilervars.csh <architecture> (for C shell)

   Where <install-dir> is the location where Intel® C++ Composer XE was installed and <architecture> is:

   • ia32: Compiler and libraries for IA-32 architecture only

   • intel64: Compiler and libraries for Intel® 64 architecture only

2. Be sure the LANG environment variable is set correctly:
   export LANG=en_US

3. Start Eclipse*, indicating the Java* runtime environment. For example:

   
   eclipse-install-dir/eclipse/eclipse -vm java-install-dir/jre1.6.0_20/bin/java -vmargs -Xmx256m
