I originally had Eclipse for Java and Eclipse CDT, but I decided to combine them by installing the CDT packages onto Eclipse for Java.

But I'm now having alot of trouble with CDT. With the Eclipse CDT on its own, 'Project Properties' -> 'C/C++ Build' -> 'Settings' contained lots of settings to change compilers and compiler flags, now it doesn't have any of that.

Now it seems to have a focus on using make. But:
A) I would rather not use make. I know I should but I just find it neater to just have everything set in the project build settings.
B) Its using 'make' while I use Mingw-w64 which has 'mingw32-make', and I can't find anywhere to change that

Thanks in advance,
Joshua

The tool settings are not visible unless Eclipse is generating the Makefile.
To get Eclipse to generate Makefiles select: Generate Makefiles automatically in the Builder Settings tab of Project ---> Properties --> C/C++ Build

Eclipse has always been focused on using make although there is a way to use CMake
If selecting the MinGW tool chain doesn't affect the build command you can change it at Project ---> Properties --> C/C++ Build, Builder Settings tab
You will need to select External builder as well.
