Hello!
(tl;dr - How to configure cross gcc path and prefix upon starting a new project?)
I've run into what I think is a minor problem, but I'm unsure how to solve it.
I am trying to get Eclipse up and running for programming in C. I've installed MinGW and Msys as per the instructions given here:
max.berger.name/howto/cdt/ar01s03.html
I've made the checks the above guide recommends (as can be seen in the cmd window in the attached screenshot). I've also set up my Path as can also be seen.
Now, my problem is that Eclipse asks me to point to configure a cross gcc path and prefix, when I try and start a new C project. The dialogue opens up asking for a project name. I enter one such and click next. It's then listing some configurations (Debug and Release). When clicking next I am then asked to configure the abovementioned cross gcc path and prefix.
My problem is: I'm a novice programmer. I've never set up and IDE that doesn't include the compiler in the install (ie. visual studio, matlab, vba etc.), and I have absolutely no idea what a cross compiler is!
I have an inkling that I have to point it towards MinGW, but in setting the Path environment I was under the impression that it should pick this up automatically.
So here I am after 3-4 nights of googling and I hope you can tell me which direction to point Eclipse so I can get started with C Smile
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and I used the .zip download/unpack instead of the Eclipse-installer, since Eclipse wouldn't recognize JRE if I used the installer.

PS. I'm aware I've posted this already in the newcomers forum, but I was advised to put it here instead. Sorry for the cross-post.
