Hi,
sorry for reposting. but i still cannot make it work.
I added e:\cygwin\bin\ to my path. when i go "make" (or any other commands
like g++) on run command, it works. so i am not sure why it is not working
from eclipse. Also, "build project" and "build all" are inactive. how do i
fix this? any help is appreciated! :)
thanks

ok this is what i get now.

main.cpp:1:19: iostream: no such file or directory
and consequently cout undeclared and stuff.

i thought cygwin came with all the header files? just like gcc in linux? do
i have to download the library separetely?

thanks

Try creating a shortcut with the following as it's target (it's all one
line):

D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "D:/eclipse/3.0M8/eclipse.exe
-data `cygpath --windows /d/workspace/`
-vm `cygpath --windows /d/sun/j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/bin/javaw.exe`"

Of course, use your own paths when appropriate and include/exclude
whatever parameters you need to start eclipse with.

Doing the above will remove the need to all Cygwin's bin directory to
your path, but will leave open a command line window. :(

Make sure that you have installed everything needed for the compiler to
work. One way to do this is to install EVERTHING when you install cygwin.

First the questionaire as usual, when newcomers don't provide any infos
on their environment.

What version do you use (Eclipse and CDT Versions as exact as possible)?
What project type do you use? (Standard Make vs. Managed Make)

e.g. in Managed Make, the cygwin path is hardcoded into the plugin.xml
file. Though, you should change the paths in there too, as you don't
have cygwin in the standard paths underneath c:\cygwin but e:\cygwin.

or not?

Thanks, Luis, this works perfectly. Advice -- first get the command
working in a command window, then cut-paste to the shortcut.
