[petsc-users] PETSc, C++ and Eclipse

[Matt Bockman]

Thanks Mohammad,

I'll give that a shot. I use Qt Creator for some GUI applications so I am
familiar with it, but I've never tried doing a non-Qt project in it. I'd
really like to get Eclipse to work.

Regarding the makefiles for eclipse. There are makefiles that it generates
(which are for GNU make) but I think I can also manually create my
makefiles. After sleeping on it, it seems like this might be the best
option, unless I can figure out a way to configure eclipse to include the
conf/variables and conf/rules files in the makefile.
