Actually, Novacoder, I've got Eclipse working too and it wasn't too dificult to set up. What version did you attempt it on? Maybe things have changed a little since then. Of course, the examples I've managed to compile are fairly simple, so... It was much more difficult than telling Eclipse to "New makefile from code", point it to the correct makefile and make sure the compiler found the correct libraries.
Cool,
I couldn't even get that far, maybe you could post up a tutorial when you get the time....
