Hello Franck,

seems like I am the only one received your mail (not the list).
Maybe you only hit the reply button ?

For explanation: Eclipse uses a native gui framework called swt which is 
currently only ported to the platforms listed in the download area.

I don't know if you can download the source code and simply compile on 
your platform - I am not familiar with C. Maybe another one on the list 
can say anything about that.

Sorry for the bad news,

Wolfgang
