Hello !

i've installed org.eclipse.cdt.sdk-2.0.2-win32.x86. All is fine except =
that it cannot find the gcc compiler program.
I get the following output when building my project:

C:\eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32\workspace\Test\Debug>make -k all
Building target: Test.exe
C:\Cygwin\bin\gcc -o Test.exe essai.o
make: *** [Test.exe] Error 1
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

C:\eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32\workspace\Test\Debug>make -k all
Building target: Test.exe
gcc -o Test.exe essai.o
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), gcc -o Test.exe essai.o, ...) =
failed.
make (e=3D2): Le fichier sp=DAcifi=DA est introuvable.
make: *** [Test.exe] Error 2
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

C:\eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32\workspace\Test\Debug>gcc -o Test.exe =
essai.o

C:\eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32\workspace\Test\Debug>Test.exe

So, the gcc works fine at the command prompt but not in the Eclipse IDE.
I also add the full path of gcc in the project's property form but I now =
get an error because it cannot find cywin dll.

The bin directory of cygwin is well-declared in the PATH environment =
variable.

Does somebody know where is the problem ?

Thanks.
Michel.

Michel,

from this excerpt

C:\eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32\workspace\Test\Debug>make -k all
Building target: Test.exe
C:\Cygwin\bin\gcc -o Test.exe essai.o
make: *** [Test.exe] Error 1
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

it seems your makefile tries to start gcc from c:\cygwin\bin
which may or may not be the location it resides. Try omitting
the path in your makefile and see if that helps.

Hi Uwe !

thanks for help !
I removed the cygmin absolute path but it still doesn't work (see the output
below).
Do you have another idea ?

**** Incremental build of configuration Debug for project Test ****

make -k all
Building file: ../essai.c
gcc -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o essai.o ../essai.c
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), gcc -o Test.exe essai.o, ...) failed.

sorry for not getting back earlier, but I do not have any other idea

MD,
What variant of the Windows OS are you running Eclipse on?

Hello !

I run Eclipse on Windows XP. I found a workaround to solve my problm : I've
copied the cygwin1.dll file in the system32 directory and gave the full
pathname to the gcc program in the configuration settings of the C/C++ build
tab in the properties dialog form. All is working fine now !

Thanks for your help;
Michel.
