What Eclipse is for
- Eclipse can format our code
- it will verify syntax
- we will use it to build or compile our C++ application
- we are to create a run configuration (how to compile and run) so we can run our prograns
- we are to create debug configurations (how to debug) so we can debug
Some Preferences:
One thing we must do is set the path to the debugger in preferences to the full path so /usr/local/bin/gdb and not gdb.

 Import your code and Makefile |  |
Create a source file using vim or using Eclipse:

Compiling/Building your program with Eclipse
To compile with Eclipse we build. After a sucessful buid we are ready to Run our prrogram.
Run the program / Execute the program
To compile we build which will refer to our Makefile.
