Use raylib with Eclipse
Eclipse is the most widely used IDE for Java and it is famous for its Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but there is also a cool version of the IDE which supports C/C++, for more info:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2018-12/r/eclipse-ide-cc-developers
In this guide we will cover the various installation steps.
In order to work with raylib and Eclipse you need to download the Mingw-w64 Installer and follow the steps in the wizard.
When prompted choose the following settings:
- Version: 7.2.0
- Architecture: x86_64
- Threads: win32
Then proceed with the installation.
Once it is finished ensure that there is the path where your MinGW-w64 has been installed to e.g., C:\mingw\mingw64\bin in your PATH environment variable (if there is not just add it manually).
You can follow one of this guides for building raylib on your operative system:

- https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Working-on-GNU-Linux
- Run Eclipse IDE for C/C++.
- From the main menu choose File > New > C/C++ Project.
- Select C++ Managed Build and Next >.
- Write the Project name then select Hello World C++ Project and MinGW CC under Toolchains.
- Click on Finish to create the new project.
- Run Eclipse IDE for C/C++.
- From the main menu choose File > New > C/C++ Project.
- Select C++ Managed Build and Next >.
- Write the Project name then select Hello World C++ Project and Linux GCC under Toolchains.
- Click on Finish to create the new project.
Now you can replace the contents of the main .cpp file with some basic examples from the following link:
https://www.raylib.com/examples.html
- From the main menu choose Project > Properties.
- Now go to C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings tab.
- Under MinGW C++ Compiler > Includes > Include paths (-I) add the path to your raylib/src folder.
- Under MinGW C++ Linker > Libraries > Libraries (-l) add raylib, opengl32, gdi32, and winmm libs.
- Under MinGW C++ Linker > Libraries > Library search path (-L) add the path to the raylib static library which you previously built.
- From the main menu choose Project > Properties.
- Now go to C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings tab.
- Under GCC C Compiler > Includes > Include paths (-I) add the path to your raylib/src folder.
- Under GCC C++ Compiler > Includes > Include paths (-I) add the path to your raylib/src folder.
- Under GCC C++ Linker > Libraries > Libraries (-l) add raylib, OpenGL version you are using, for example: GLESv2, And other libraries...
- Under GCC C++ Linker > Libraries > Library search path (-L) add the path to the raylib static library which you previously built.
- Under the tab Project Explorer (you find on the left side of the screen) right click on your project.
- Select Build Project from the popup menu for building your project.
- Finally right click again on your project and then select Run As > Local C/C++ Application.
Now you should be ready to go with Eclipse!
Enjoy! :)
