The eclipse download page has a special download for C/C++ developers. Install that
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Make sure you have gcc and make installed on your system.
That should be it. Just create a C++ project and create C++ files in there...
I am primarily a Java programmer, but did setup a eclipse C++ environment a few years ago. There wasn't much to it. Give it a shot, I am sure you would be able to do it.
