Hi. i have installed c/c++ eclipse juno on 64 bit windows 7. i have also downloaded MinGW, extracted it and set the environment variable. Now my problem is when i try to write any c/c++ code, after selectig executable and then empty project at the project type, when i get to the toolchains i dont see MinGW but rather cross GCC. when i select cross GCC and write the progarm i see the error message " program "g++" not found in PATH"and "program "gcc" not found in PATH". I right clicked on the project, choose properties and set the path but i still see that error message. I don't know if it is because the MinGW is not installed or what. after downloading the MinGW the only thing that i could do was extract the file. I didnt see anything like setup.exe. if the set up is in any of the folders pls direct me to that folder so that i can install it and if it is a problem with the path please help me. thanks
