I've been looking around, but havn't come across anything that is of use
to me. I want to configure Eclipse to use cygwin to make and build my C
programs, but I don't want to put cygwin in my path. It seems that
putting cygwin in my path actually messes up more than a few pieces of
software on my computer, so I just want to set it up for compiling in
eclipse.

OK, got my CDT install working again after browsing the newsgroup for a
bit. Here's what I did on the "Run.." dialog.
- Select the project you are trying to run
- On the "Environment" tab, click the "Select.." button to add an
environment variable; select the PATH variable and click OK
- You should now see the PATH variable in the list; select it and
click the "Edit..." button
- Add your cygwin/bin directory (I prepended it to the path - I find
that I have fewer issues when I do this)
Now your application should run fine.

Hello.
I want to establish exactly the same thing - to have CDT work with
Cygwin that is not present in the System enviroment. Everything seems to
work fine if you just add Cygwin/bin path everywhere enviroment is
settable (in Preferences/C_C++/Make/New make projects,
Preferences/C_C++/Managed build and Run...). You just select the prepend
option or type "c:\Progra~1\Cygwin\bin\;${env_var:PATH}".
Anyway.. With all this I managed to get the program to compile itself
and I can also run it in eclipse's console. But all the time I got a
warning in the Problems tab saying: "File not indexed because it was not
built" and every now and then (when I was playing around with settings)
another error showed up saying: "Error launching external scanner info
generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD
D:/Projects/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/spe cs.c) ". To
sum up - compiling and running worked fine also with the errors and
after a while of playing around with settings also the error regarding
gcc went away, but it reappeared after restarting eclipse (it seems that
some Enviroment setups are mixed up and reused?).
Imho this problems are connected with the information gathering
mechanism that (as it looks) doesn't know where to find my gcc binary
(it doesn't use the Enviroment settings that can be set from within the
program). How to solve this?
(I created a Managed Make C Project in Eclipse SDK 3.1.2 with CDT 3.0.2)
