Title: Can I use EasyEclipse?
Post by: RaXaR on June 24, 2007, 09:57:19 am

Hi guys, just wanted to know if I can use  EasyEclipse for C/C++ (http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/cplusplus.html) to compile the Source. I have very limited knowledge of C/C++ but I use Object oriented programming daily. Which brings me to another question, where can I get a nice layout/explanation of the UFO:AI engine, and if it's not too heavily modified then even the Q2 Engine.  Something like a summarized overview of either/both?

Thanks :)

i don't know whether eclipse will do the job - but i suppose yes. but you have to create the project files yourself.

we have a lot of doxygen comments in our code - and there is a quake2 programming guide - have a look at the coding article in our wiki

Hi thanks Mattn, I've looked through the wiki, but it's a bit overwhelming at the moment. hence the 'sumarized overview' :) What do you guys use to write and compile the source with?

short: linux ;-)
long: use codeblocks and dev-cpp to compile the game - vc6 or later versions can't link some needed libs at the moment

Hello !

I made a little tuto for compiling UFO:AI under Windows :

I am sorry that's in french !
But very easy to understand ! :-)
