Using Eclipse CDT for MySQL C Development

I got a pointer to this blog entry in my Google Alerts this morning. It's an article on how to write a C application that talks to a MySQL database. And it's done using the CDT. Very cool!

This is exactly the kind of article we need more of, showing the CDT in action solving real world problems. The CDT can be used for anything but a lot of people still don't know that yet.

  1. Maybe we need a 'getting started with cdt' series on EclipseZone's front page. Fancy putting together a couple of examples e.g. 'hello world'?

  3. Well, if the traffic in #eclipse is any indication, then yes, a 'CDT getting started guide' would be most welcome.

    Doug: have you ever considered lurking in there to watch the questions? It's about a 3-way split between Java, C/C++, and php questions, in about that order.

    More CDT docs (or at least a section in the CDT wiki) about setup problems / debugging would probably help people out a lot.

  4. With my split between QNX work, leading the CDT project, and trying to get Wascana off the ground, I don't have much time left over. I have to rely on the community to get more involved in stuff like IRC and article writing.

  5. I'm working in a leading company in Defense Image Intelligence. All our embedded developments are made using Eclipse / CDT / Eclox / Subversion.
    The new CDT 4 Parser can be tune to match the framework we use from NXP.

    Thank you to the whole CDT Team, really thank you !

    Note:
    We recently tuned our CDT configuration to develop host applications with the Qt framework.
    All I can say is that the CDT Configuration Scanner really rocks by parsing qmake generated makefiles and automatically configure our projects. Just amazing!

    Thank you all!
