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

[Mohammad Mirzadeh]

Ok then. Now I don't have enough experience with Eclipse so
I apologize beforehand if you already know these/have tried them out. If
not, hopefully they can be of help. I assume there should be a way in
Eclipse to give it the link lib directory. In plain makefile that's just a
simple step when linking. To get all the needed linklibs for petsc, you can
do

make getlinklibs

in the $PETSC_DIR. As for the needed include files, they are all located in

$PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/include

Again, its easy to use these directories along with your makefile. I'm not
sure about how you give them to Eclipse though. Hopefully this has been
helpful.

Best,
Mohammad
