I apologize in advance for the stupidity of this question, but I'm confused as h @ &! and not even sure what to ask more.
For my mathematical thesis, i.e. I'm not a programmer, I need to write C code that uses the CVODE library , which is part of SUNDIALS (do you need all these details?). But I can’t work directly on the Gentoo Linux cluster, where the program will eventually work.
According to the SUNDIALS website, CVODE is very rarely compiled and used in the native Windows environment, but it was used using Cygwin , so I want to configure the C programming environment, including the IDE (especially the debugger), on my Windows PC using Cygwin.
I installed and executed the basic Cygwin (plus package for the nano editor) on my 64-bit Windows PC. I want to use the Eclipse IDE, which is available for Linux and Windows, and can really only be used in the GUI (I think). I think I should install Eclipse further (and then CVODE after that). This is what I'm trying to do now.
My main question is: how to configure Eclipse to work with Cygwin? What Cygwin packages do I need to run Eclipse?
In the docs, I see that Cygwin has a server (Cygserver), but does not have a graphical interface. Or it might have a Cygwin / X GUI. I configure Eclipse on Windows to communicate with Cygserver, and then do my work on Windows, but compiling, etc. Will be held at Cygserver? Or am I installing Cygwin / X and using the Linux version of Eclipse, which I hope works with Cygwin / X? If both options are possible, which is easier (I assume the latter).
