Whilst searching for a cross-platform PHP IDE I came across Eclipse
("http://eclipse.org";) which is a Java based IDE that supports plugins for
many other types of development (PHP, Java(script), C/C++).

I've heard mixed things about its C++ support
(http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/), like "getting there" or "maybe one day." Since it uses gdb as its debugger and make as its default build system,
programmers who use other tools may be put off.


I tried CDT a while ago and couldn't really see anything other than syntax highlighting and the makefile management, and went back to Dev-C++ (which to be fair doesn't have that much else either but it's at least written specifically for C++). I tried again yesterday because I'm entering a small retro-style games competition, and thought it'd be a good chance to get into OpenGL. Managed to get SDL/OpenGL running the gears demo, once I'd remembered how to set up mingw and the like. Is it fairly easy to set up an orthogonal view so i can render 2D-esque sprites?
