Re: ROOT in eclipse

I use eclipse to manage a .so library that uses ROOT classes and custom classes, it is loadable in CINT. I can send you the .cproject file if you would like. I don't use eclipse to manage root itself, if that is what you mean. I don't use eclipse that much, sorry I don't know what a plugin for it entails.

To make a library, in short, this is my recipe: In the menu Properties/ C/C++ Build Settings/ Settings/ GCC C++ Compiler use g++ with the following options
-I(your root dir)/include/ -O3 -c -Wno-sign-compare -fmessage-length=0 -fPIC -pthread -m64

In Properties/ C/C++ Build Settings/ Settings/ GCC C++ Linker use g++ with -m64 -shared

You also need a prebuild command. go to the Build Steps tab of Properties/ C/C++ Build Settings/ Settings/. in the prebuild box write

(your root dir)/bin/rootcint -f MyRootDict.C -c -I(your includes) ../ClassToCompile1.h ../ClassToCompile2.h (etc.. all the classes you wish to compile) ; g++ -O2 -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -fPIC -pthread -m64 -I(your root dir)/include -c NanaDict.C

This hopefully will create a shared object library that CINT will recognize. Hope this helps.
