sorry to say this but,
after days of working on windows 7 64bit with cygwin and mingw,
i concluded that cdt on windows eclipse is the worst thing on development.

it really doesn's work.

if someone struggling with errors like "eclipse Program "gcc" not found in PATH",
forget about it, and install the visual studio of microsoft.

as of last update's of cygwin and mingw, cdt isn't working, and nobody did'nt found how to do it.

The easiest solution, indeed.
Assuming that you can spend $499,00 or more... Cool

Hi.

Can you let us know few details:
1) What version of mingw or cygwin are you using? Where did you install it (full path)?
2) Have you set up your system PATH so you can start gcc from default shell (cmd)? What is output of gcc -v if started there?
3) What version of Eclipse/CDT are you running? (see Help -> About Eclipse)

BR.

I had some similar problem on windows, played around a bit and now I have this message.
don't know what I did, but build works now

Info: Configuration "Debug" uses tool-chain "MinGW GCC" that is unsupported on this system, attempting to build anyway.
Info: Internal Builder is used for build

I use this mingw

was not allowed to post the link so its in the code tag

When I develop C++ in a Windows environment I setup my development environment as follows:

1. Download CDT from the download page and extract it. URL:

http:// www.eclipse.org/downloads/

2. Download the MinWG installer from MinGW-buildsand install it. URL:

http:// sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/

3. Add the bin directory of the installed MinGW to my PATH variable (Windows + Break -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables). The bin directory of the MinGW installation is usually located in a path like the following, depending on the path you specified during the installation:

C:\Program Files\mingw-builds\x64-4.8.1-posix-seh-rev5\mingw64\bin

Don't forget the separating semicolon when adding the new entry.

For Windows 7/64-bit I'm sure that will work like a charm.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Thomas

Debugging still sucks a lot in CDT when compared to MSVC experience.

And in order to discover MinGW I had to make a copy of "i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe" as "mingw32-gcc.exe" because otherwise CDT shows messages about not detected toolchain.
