hi,
i've got the following problem:
i've installed the c/c++ ide in eclipse and created a new project. but
after finishing creating the project, a warning appeared in the
Problems-window in eclipse. it's the following message:
"Error launching external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD C:/
..blabla.. /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.c)"
what does it mean and how can i solve this problem?

looks like gcc is missing. remember that eclipse comes with no C/C++ compiler :) (even the CDT doesn't have one)

if you're using windows :
make sure you have installed MingW correctly (i think it works with cygwin too but i'm not a hundred percent sure) and make sure the PATH variable contains the path to the mingw binary path (c:\mingw\bin for example)

if you're using linux : mke sure the gcc compilation suite is set up correctly
