This is a newbie question. im trying to use eclipse for c++ for the first
time. I try to go through the tutorial that is included with the plugin.
But once i create either a standard make or managed make project in the
problems i get this error

Error launchin external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v
c:/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make .core/specs.cpp)

when i try to build after creating the hello world main.cpp and the
makefile if i choose standard make it cannot find the make program or
start it. I tell it to use the default make the error is

Error launching builder (make -k all )
(Exec error:Launching failed)

Do i need to download something else besides the plugin zip file?

Thanks for the help
Matt Maziarz

p.s. I tried searching the internet and help files to find a solution
sorry if i missed it

You didn't install a compiler, did you?

Use either Cygwin or MinGW32.
