C++ Build problem!!!!!!!!!!!! [message #721916]

Hi friends,
I facing a problem with Eclipse IDE and MinGW, hope you will help me out. This is how I installed eclipse.
1. I installed JRE.
2. I donwloaded the MinGW automatic installer, installed everything except Fortran compiler, under C:\MinGW
3. Then I added C:\MinGW\bin to my system path variable.
4. Then I downloaded Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (includes Incubating components), extracted it under C:\eclipse

Now when I create a c project, with .c source file, the build is successfuly done, and I can run the executable created. But when I try to do the same thing with a c++ project, I face the following errors.

Description	                        Resource         Path   Location             	                               	
Symbol 'cout' could not be resolved	First.cpp	/First/src	line 13	Semantic Error
Symbol 'endl' could not be resolved	First.cpp	/First/src	line 13	Semantic Error
Symbol 'std' could not be resolved	First.cpp	/First/src	line 10	Semantic Error
Error launching external scanner info generator (g++ -E -P -v -dD C:/Users/dawood/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.cpp)	First		[Discovery Options] page in project properties	C/C++ Problem
Program 'g++' is not found in $PATH	First		[Discovery Options] page in project properties	C/C++ Problem

I searched for the iostream under C:\MinGW but couldn't find, why is iostream not included with MinGW???
I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1, please help me with this! Looking forward to your replies!
Thanks in advance!

What is the extension of the C++ file?

What namespace is imported (if any)?

It is .cpp

I didn't get this part of your question, I am giving all the code for your information.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
     cout << "Hello, world!\n";
     return 0;
}

From your previous mail:

Did you look at this? Is g++ installed and in the path?

Somehow after reinstalling my problem has been solved, but now another problem rises. printf gives console display, while cout doesn't!
