Hi,

My background in programming is all in a Linux environment. I am trying to set up a programming environment in Windows XP Professional for the first time.

I have downloaded Eclipse Indigo (Classic) and added the C/C++ plugin. However, when I try to write a simple "Hello World" program I get an error message that the "include <stdio.h>" cannot be resolved.

I have done a lot of Google searches looking for an answer but I am getting nowhere.

Any advice is appreciated.

Did you install a toolchain (MinGW)?

Hi,

I followed a how-to on installing MinGW to be used with Eclipse but a couple of the instructions produced no result so I'm not sure if it worked. MinGW is definitely installed but it does not show up as an toolchain option in Eclipse.

Regards.

Perhaps I should also mention that I added ";D:/MinGW/bin" to my Path variable and that there is no registry key showing the MinGW install location.

Regards.

You should use backslashes on Windows. 
D:\MinGW\bin
