After choosing the default "Hello World" project I am getting an ERROR g++ not found in path.

$ which g++
/usr/bin/g++

after googling I added /usr/bin/g++ to "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Path"

Linux Mint 13

Hello,

open the package manager tool and Install the G++ package (Gnu C++ compiler).

Or, in a terminal try:
sudo apt-get install g++

regards,
Klaus

I have the same issue and i can´t resolve it.

I can´t find neither the f**l package manager nor the Terminal in which i can type the expression.

I also had the same problem. But the following worked for me.

Note that I have following environment:

OS:
Windows XP SP3

Eclipse:
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: Kepler Release
Build id: 20130614-0229

C/C++ compiler:
MinGW GCC

Setup environment variable PATH to include "<MINGW_HOME>/bin" where <MINGW_HOME> is the MinGW installed directory that you have chosen in the previous step.

Now to install the g++ package:

1. Start > Run > cmd
2. At the command prompt, type the following
mingw-get install g++

This is the solution that works for me in Ubuntu Linux.eclipse-cpp-kepler-R-linux-gtk.tar.gz

1) Remove the directory of eclipse installation. For example: rm -rf eclipse
2) If g++ was not installed yet, then install it: sudo apt-get install g++
3) Reinstall the eclipse. For example: tar zxvf eclipse-cpp-kepler-R-linux-gtk.tar.gz
4) Run the eclipse for the first time with this command: ./eclipse -initialize
5) After the initialization was done, run it as normal: ./eclipse

This did not work for me. I followed the exact steps but I still continue to get the same error.

Hi,

this helped for me:

1. Edit the project's environments settings (Properties/ C/C++ Build / Environment). If the PATH variable doesn't appear here or is not printed boldly, then cancel that dialog and edit them in Window / Preferences / C/C++ Build / Environment).
2. Make sure your PATH variable setting contains the string ':${PATH}'. It must have the curly braces around it! If the variable is already there and isn't resolved anyway, then get its value from your operating system and replace ${PATH} with that value.

Point number four has worked for me, I didn't even had to reinstall eclipse just ran that command. Thank you

what I don't understand is why the super geniuses who made this couldn't even make the install work correctly. doesn't fill a guy with confidence when something as simple as installing it doesn't work right. They sure made it seem like this would compile and run c/c++ programs. Guess you'd call it false advertising but I didn't pay anything for it. What's that old adage? You get what you pay for?

I'm having same issue.

Ubuntu 16.04.

Eclipse CDT returns "Program "powerpc-linux-gcc not found in PATH" and same for g++.

But:

toug@ubuntu:~/Test_C$ ll /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 11  2016 /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc -> powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-5*
toug@ubuntu:~/Test_C$ echo $PATH
/home/toug/bin:/home/toug/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

so what's the trick?
I tried to run eclipse --initialize once, but no change.

Maybe because powerpc-linux-gcc is not the same as powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc ?

Not enough info to determine why g++ isn't found.
Is it installed?
