how do i install custom c++ libraries?

i'm taking a computer security class and i was hoping i can get some pointers on how to install custom libraries the professor had uploaded. the main language is C which i am not very familiar with. i am using eclipse for c/c++.

if eclipse is not a great choice for c please direct me to the best program for c. installing these libraries in my laptop is not required because its already installed in the labs in school but i'd prefer it if i could do thing on my own laptop.

thanks!

ps: reason i like eclipse is because of the alignment command it has =/

using window 7 64bit...

1. Download a free copy of Virtual Box.
2. Install the same linux distro that your class uses in it.
3. Run eclipse in there, and just do what your professor tells you to for those libraries.

Any attempt to do this on native Windows will cost you more time that you can possibly afford.
