I had the same problem and spent too much more than 1/2 day chasing the
issue. I too am new, to Eclipse/CDT/Cygwin anyway, but old enough to
believe that the computer shall not win...in the end there can only be One!
The 'hack' suggested previously, by copying and renaming gcc-3.exe and
g++-3.exe worked OK for me. I think I have another solution which does
not require altering the 'original' Cygwin package.
In Project Properties C/C++ Build Discovery Options, go to the "Compiler
innvocation command" and enter gcc-3 and g++-3, instead of gcc and g++
respectively. Restart Eclipse. That seemed to work for me, at least on my
little Hello World example. I didn't purge and start the whole
installation process all over again, but I did restore Cygwin without the
hack to try this.
There are many 'How To' tutorials around for setup of Eclipse/CDT/Cygwin
that miss this gcc/g++ naming issue. Most installation and
problem-solving instructions only address the need for a proper PATH to
the \Cygwin\bin directory. This problem seems to be too new for any of
them to have caught it. So thanks to Bugzilla for being among the first
to post a solution.
If that is all there is to this, I hope that the CDT powers that be will
consider automatically discovering the correct gcc/g++ or gcc-#/g++-#
naming at an appropriate point, or alternately adding a few words about it
in the C/C++ Development User Guide, Getting Started help.
Thanks for reading,
Steve
