I am just starting to use Eclipse IDE, I have installed the IDE, Eclipse CDT and then MinGW x64. Which new project do I select: there is no simple C++ project, all I see: Arduino (WHY?) Managed (don't need those) cmake

I don't know what cmake is? And why is there a caution 'Experimental' on makefile project?

WHICH TO CHOOSE?

  • What is your buildsystem? If you don't know, choose "C++ Managed Build" – Thomas Sablik Mar 03 '20 at 07:56
  • >>Buildsystem No idea >>C++ Managed Don't need managed C++, I only want pure C++, with STL. – Inga Rotman Mar 03 '20 at 08:30
  • "Managed Build" means that Eclipse manages your build. That's what you want. – Thomas Sablik Mar 03 '20 at 09:09
  • "Managed" in this context has nothing to do with Microsoft's legacy "Managed C++" technology, if that's what you're thinking. It just means Eclipse will manage building the project itself, instead of requiring an external build script like a `makefile`. – HighCommander4 Mar 05 '20 at 03:21
  • HighCommander4, yeah that's what I thought) Thomas Sablik, I don't know how to choose you comment as an answer? That was helpful – Inga Rotman Mar 11 '20 at 08:20
