Newbie - Tutorial Make problem [message #88919] Wed, 10 December 2003 21:48 Go to next message

Newbie here...

I've installed CDT 1.2, tried to work throught the simple HelloWorld
tutorial and gotten totally stuck at the first MAKE... embarassing. Now,
much browsing and reading and much lost time later I humbly ask for help.
__________________________
I have seen admonishments:
Either your path is not configured correctly or you do not have make
installed on your system.
____________________________
Where and how do I configure the Path? which path is it? is it the path
to the make utility file(s)? Where should the Make utility be in a
straight installation of eclipse and the CDT plugin? Where do I enter the
Path that is called for?

Nowhere have I seen how to assure that MAKE is installed. I do have these
two plug-in components in my ...\eclipse\plugins folder:
org.eclipse.cdt.make.core (1.2.0) "C/C++ Standard make Build Core"
org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui (1.2.0) "C/C++ Standard make Build UI"

I'd really appreciate a little help here.

thanks,
fab

You have either cygwin or MinGW installed?

The PATH is set up like any other envirnment variable in Windows.
Windows9x/ME in autoexec.bat

Windows 2k/XP in "Control Panel"->System->Advanced->"Environment Variables"

Add the binary path to PATH:
cygwin -> C:\cygwin\bin
MinGW -> C:\MinGW\bin;C:\msys\1.0\bin

did, I am new to it too, after following the eclipse C++ 'Hello

You have to isntall MinGW or Cygwin. I'd recommend MinGW (seems much less
complicated for a beginner than Cygwin). After installing MinGW, add
MinGW's /bin dir to your PATH variable (ask Google what that means).

My MinGW's bin folder does not contain 'make', but 'mingw32-make', and it
works just fine with that :)

Hope this helps.
