eclipse installation in linux - linux

I am trying to install the eclipse IDE for c++ developers. I have downloaded the tar.gz from the eclipse and unzip/unarchived it using tar -xzvf... but now when I double click, or run eclipse nothing happens. I have done this before using the same method and it worked. I dont know why nothing happens now.
I also am aware of the sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform method. But I do not want to install the eclipse platform, just the IDE for c/c++ developers.
any suggestions?
thanks

For Eclipse, you need to have a JVM up and running, since it's a Java application. You can install the JRE of your choice (I personally use OpenJDK 6 since I also do Java development).

Try chmod +x eclipse in a terminal or run it from terminal: ./eclipse.
Edit:
With the information of your comments in this answer, you have a 32bit system and your eclipse is a 64bit version. You can't run 64bit applications on a 32bit system.
So you have to download the 32bit version of eclipse (or virtualize an 64bit system with VMWare, for example).

Missing mfc140u.dll when trying to run windows application using Wine in Ubuntu

I want to run a c++ application written in vs2017 in Ubuntu 16.04. I've installed Wine version 3.0.3 as well as Winetricks version 20140817. When trying to run the application using 'wine app_name.exe' command, i get an error saying
002e:err:module:import_dll Library mfc140u.dll (which is needed by L"path_to_my_application_library") not found
I tried to install mfc140u via Winetrichs GUI using 'Install a Windows DLL or component' option but it seems not to be listed anywhere on the list of the available packages. Does anyone know how to make it available?
Make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of Wine (currently Wine 4). You can check by running:
wine --version
If you need to upgrade Wine, check out the instructions here.
That dll is a part of Visual C++ redistributable. You'll need to install it so the application will work. Instructions are here.
I don't use Wine, so there could be additional steps, but in the interest of helping:
I believe you need the appropriate version of the VC++ redistributable (Visual Studio C++ runtime). You need to install the version that the application you try to run was compiled with. Just start with the latest one and install and then install older versions if need be. MSDN Forums.
Download
vc_redist.x64.exe
from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
from console run
wine uninstaller
uninstall any existing runtime version, then select "install" and browse for the vc_redist.x64.exe file, accept. Execute your Windows appplication

Install MonoDevelop IDE for Redhat Linux

I am trying to install and configure MonoDevelop on my Oracle VM Virtual Box. The Operating System that running on the VM is RedHat Linux.
With the help of the below link, I have installed the mono-2.10.8 and also I was able to compile and run the sample c# source code on Linux through the shell.
Here
Now, I am trying to install or configure the IDE, please advise me for the good IDEs.
Thanks for your help
Installed Monodeveloper from the below link. I chose the Operating System as CentOS
MonoDevelop
This will also install mono-opt from the home:tpokorra repo
mono-opt is the latest stable version (3.6) on mono available from Mono Project
I found this way much easier for installing mono on redhat / centos 6

Running an application created in windows using QT on a embedded linux platform

I have created an application in QT 5.1.1 in windows XP OS. I want it to run on embedded Linux. What am I supposed to do?
If you want to check yourself before sending it to them...
install VirtualBox
install a similar version of linux
install the Qt libraries
rebuild your application and make sure it behaves the way you want.
If you only use Qt libraries and includes, you probably won't have to change much, if anything.
Hope that helps.

Aptana Studio 3.3.0 crashes on start - Arch Linux

here's my system specs;
Arch Linux x86_64,
Kernel: 3.6.10-1-ARCH,
Gnome 3.6.2,
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.4-1,
jdk7-openjdk 7.u9_2.3.3-1,
jre7-openjdk 7.u9_2.3.3-1,
jre7-openjdk-headless 7.u9_2.3.3-1,
lib32-libjpeg-turbo 1.2.1-1, libjpeg-turbo 1.2.1-1, libjpeg6-turbo 1.2.1-1
libpng12 1.2.50-2,
net-tools 1.60.20120804git-2,
unzip 6.0-6.
Ok, so there's the list of requirements that are installed, version numbers as well. Upon launch, the loading/splash screen won't even show, and then nothing... it just dies out. I attempted to launch it "aptana -v" and no output in the shell. I have looked for any error logs in ~/ , but nothing is there.
Other steps I've done is to delete any configuration folders/files for eclipse and aptana-secure in ~/. Also did a clean uninstall of just Aptana (not the dependencies), reinstall. Same result.
Any suggestions?
It appears that there is a mix up in the downloads. 32-bit and 64-bit got switched. If you are on 32-bit download 64-bit and vice versa. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
See issues below:
Aptana 64 bit version crashes on startup on 64bit Linux OS with 64bit Oracle 7 java
Linux Installer Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_3.3.0.zip contains x64 bit version of the project

Kdevelop in Windows XP

I received a src archive from a friend who develops Qt apps on Linux on Kdevelop IDE. Is it possible to load the Kdevelop project in Windows in some IDE ? Is there a Kdevelop port on Windows without Cygwin/Msys etc ? Are there any workarounds or I should I have to install Linux and take charge?
Update : I visited the page as mentioned in the below answer, but there's no Kdevelop package in the KdeWin installer . See here
KDevelop 4 will also be available on Windows (together with a lot of other KDE4 software). It is currently in beta, but you can download a Windows installer. The installer also lets you install other KDE4 software and should come with the QT development files you will need to develop QT applications.
AFAICT, there is no port to Windows of Kdevelop4 and Kdevelop3 was run with cygwin - which, IMHO, is not really a robust solution.
It would probably be easier, and better, to install a Linux distro in a virtual machine and go at it from there. If you don't need access to Windows, you could just install a Linux on a separate hardrive and/or partition.
Install linux on virtual machine such as vmware or virtual box.
