CDT 4, Now Available!

It's been quite a year for the CDT. The growth of our community has been very rewarding. And CDT 4 is the fruit of our efforts. There are lots of new features and I counted 1152 bugs marked fixed. We have a What's New section in our user docs that doubles as our traditional Eclipse New & Noteworthy. You can see it on the Eclipse help machine.

Download instructions are available on our web site as well. There are lots of other ways to get it too. The Eclipse download site has the Eclipse Platform and the CDT in a single zip file. If you are on Linux, I'm sure you'll see it soon in your favorite distribution. If you are on Windows and want to build Windows application with GNU tools, check my other announcement ;).

  1. I'm eager to download 4.0 of CDT. But the download page dissapointed me. How to download just the CDT SDK.

    Its either bundled with eclipse or I have to add a discovery site. (Installing by Eclipse Update is very slow over here in India)

    Please let me know where I can get just the CDT SDK.

    Thanks

  2. venu: you can get the master update archive directly here

    (it's still almost 40 megs though, no two ways about it...)

  3. Thx much Tarjei. 40MB is fine, I just overlooked that link :)

    I was assuming that "update" was the only way to get hold of CDT

  4. The SDK itself is around 36 Meg so the extra features you get in the Master isn't much more. But I am thinking of creating the old zip files, at least for the releases since this is coming up a lot.

  5. Congrats to Doug and your team!

    However, I'm struggling a bit to find more information about Scanner discovery options - what it's doing, how it works, etc.

    You see, we're using Borland Compiler for our project which creates Windows PE executables, and wanted to if the scanner was smart enough to sift through borland generated files (I don't know if this is possible since the borland debugging TDS format is not supported by GCC/GDB).
