Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition for C++ Linux*
Installation Guide and Release Notes 28
5.1.1 Integration notes
If you already have the proper versions of Eclipse, CDT and a functional JRE installed and
configured in your environment, then you can add the Intel C++ Eclipse Product Extension to
your Eclipse Platform, as described in the section, below, entitled How to Install the Intel C++
Eclipse Product Extension in Your Eclipse Platform. Otherwise, you will first need to obtain and
install Eclipse, CDT and a JRE, as described in the section, below, entitled How to Obtain and
Install Eclipse, CDT and a JRE and then install the Intel C++ Eclipse Product Extension.
If your installation of Eclipse already has an earlier Intel® C++ Compiler integration installed,
installing the updated integration will not work. You will need to install a fresh version of Eclipse
into which you can install the latest Intel C++ Compiler integration. For this same reason, using
the Eclipse update mechanism to install a newer Intel C++ Compiler integration will not work.
5.2 How to Install the Intel C++ Eclipse Product Extension in Your Eclipse
Platform
To add the Intel C++ product extension to your existing Eclipse configuration, follow these
steps, from within Eclipse.
Open the "Available Software" page by selecting: Help > Install New Software...
Click on the "Add..." button. Select "Local...". A directory browser will open. Browse to select the
cdt8.0 eclipse directory in your Intel C++ compiler installation. For example, if you installed
the compiler as root to the default directory, you would browse to
/opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.<n>.<xxx>/eclipse_support/cdt8.0/eclipse.
Select “OK” to close the directory browser. Then select "OK" to close the “Add Site” dialog.
Select the two boxes for the Intel C++ integration: there will be one box for “Intel® C++ Compiler
Documentation” and a second box for “Intel® C++ Compiler XE 15.0 for Linux* OS”. Note: The
Intel features will not be visible if you have Group items by category set – unset this option to
view the Intel features.
Click the “Next” button. An “Install” dialog will open which gives you a chance to review and
confirm you want to install the checked items. Click “Next”. You will now be asked to accept the
license agreement. Accept the license agreement and click “Finish”. Select “OK” on the
“Security Warning” dialog that says you are installing software that contains unsigned content.
The installation of the Intel support will proceed.
When asked to restart Eclipse, select “Yes”. When Eclipse restarts, you will be able to create
and work with CDT projects that use the Intel C++ compiler. See the Intel C++ Compiler
documentation for more information. You can find the Intel C++ documentation under Help >
Help Contents > Intel(R) C++ Compiler XE 15.0 User and Reference
Guides.
