2.0 for the latest eclipse (M8). i installed cygwin.
***is eclipse supposed to find out where cygwin is and use it automatically?
***I cannot build. how do i manually tell eclipse to look for cygwin and
make and gcc or g++?

thanks for all the help!!

make sure you have "C:\cygwin\bin" in your PATH variable.

I solved this by starting eclipse from a Cygwin shell prompt. You could
probably do something automatically by making bash run eclipse.exe directly
instead of creating an interactive login prompt. (I think the -e flag does
that, check the man page.)

However, whether this is the Right Way(tm) or not, I can't say. :)

Your first question is non-cygwin specific. Make sure you have a C++
project, and fiddle from there. I've only used in for a few days, with
managed mode only. If you have such a project, and save a .h or .cpp file,
it should compile automatically (check the console).

As for the second, start the Cygwin bash shell (in the start-menu), cd to
your eclipse dir and just type eclipse.exe &. (the & is not required, but
puts eclipse in the background so that you can continue to do other things
in the shell).
