A little trick I learned from Dodji
yum install yum-utils
yum-builddep nemiver
Installs all the build dependencies for nemiver so I am ready to configure and build it.

Eclipse C Linux: Intro
July 23, 2010I have been using eclipse for quite a while now. Back when I worked on Frysk it was great. Frysk was written in Java which is eclipse’s strong point. When I moved to GDB I was worried that the eclipse C/C++ plugin (CDT) was not going to provide as nice an experience. Although not without its problems the CDT was pretty nice, and has improved a lot since.
So I would like to write a few blog posts and maybe a screen cast about how I use CDT hoping that you might find it useful too.
Eclipse is particularly useful when you are new to a project which has a large code base such as GDB. If I had to pick one, I think the most useful feature of eclipse is Ctrl+Click. Ctrl+Click on a variable to go to its declaration; Ctrl+Click on a function declaration to go to its definition; Ctrl+Click to go back. Basically when in doubt Ctrl+Click.
Next few posts I will talk about building C/C++ projects, editding/exploring code, and debugging C/C++.
