Ok I am tryingt to run C/C++, but its not working.

here are the steps i have taken

I have installed cygwin and all its componets in the directory c:\cygwin

i have check to see that it was properly installed so i went into cmd
typed in path and there it was ...;c:\cygwin\bin and when i typed gcc it
said "gcc: no input file"

After that i downloaded eclipse and installed it.

i went to help software update added the new site and installed both the
CDT addons

i restared eclipse and restarted my computer

i opened eclipse created a standard make c++ project, named it HelloWorld
i hit next then clicked on Error PArsers and made sure everything was
checked then i went to Binary Parser Tab and make sure PE Windows and
Cygwin PE Parser were checked. then i clicked finish.

I then right clicked > new >file > makefile copied and pasted
-----------------------------
all: hello

clean:
-rm main.o hello.exe hello

hello: main.o
g++ -g -o hello main.o

main.o: main.cpp
g++ -c -g main.cpp
------------------------------------

then i created a new file named main.cpp

and copied and pasted this

-------------------------------------

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string yourName;

cout << "Enter your name: ";
cin >> yourName;
cout << "Hello " + yourName << endl;

return 0;
}


-----------------------------------------

i then hit ctrl+s and ctrl+b

i got the following error msg

"*** No rule to make target `all'."
"*** No rule to make target `clean'."

aftwards i went to run and hit Run...

Run window opened and i selected C/C++ Local applications then a sub list
came up with the name of my project "HelloWorld" i clicked on it and the
menu changed tot he side, i clicked on "Search Project..." but there was
nothing, no list, just a new window with a black white space where i
assume the list of projects would be. So i just entered the name
hello.exe. hit apply but the "Run" button never activated so i can push it
it remained gray where otherwise the name "Run" would turn black.

i went around and trying changing everything i could to get the run button
to come up so i can push it but i couldn't.

Can someone please help me. Everything i have done i have listed already
plush the fact that i unchecked Nuild Automaticly.


Please help me pleaseee
