- GNU gcc as the compiler

The Eclipse IDE
Installation
The eclipse IDE is the recommended environment for development of simulation functions. It is downloadable from the eclipse web site http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. The package to download is the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers. We recommended to download the latest version.
Installation of the OpenFLUID plugin for Eclipse
Once the eclipse IDE is installed, you should install the Eclipse plug-in that helps to generate a minimal simulation function with a correct signature. To get this plugin running, you have to download and copy it into the plugins directory of eclipse.
