Hi I downloaded Eclipse 3.1 and CDT 3.0.0 I installed everything is
fine. But I can't build my projects. The documentation in the Help seems
to be kind of outdated too because it looks nothing like the new CDT. So
I get this message its in yellow Error launching external scanner info
generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD
D:/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make .core/specs.cpp)
What do I do. How do I fix this.

Pavel,

you are missing gcc. Since you are on windows, please install a
compiler and a build system. (either cygwin or mingw32/msys)

see

Thanks a lot Max. This works great. What I am wondering is that after I
created even a simplest program like Hello World program it gives me a
yellow message right after the last } it says no newline at end of file.
It works even with that message displaying but I was just wondering what
is it because its kind of annoying if you will.

That's the compiler complaining that the last line of the file doesn't
have a newline (Eclipse itself doesn't care).

Go to the last line in the file, move the cursor as far to the right as
you can. Hit the "Enter" key. Now, try again. The message should go away.

If the source file doesn't have new line at end, When we use include,
Some source will be mixed into single line. So,"New line at end" is
recommended as far as I think.

Great thanks a lot man. Yeah Eclipse is not as self explanatory as I
thought it would be. But its great. Hmm perhaps I should uninstall MS
Visual Studio :)
