External scanner info generator [message #186314]

I want to set PATH variable only in Eclipse CDT, but not in Windows (I use
Cygwin and have problems with installation of PosgreSQL with "real" PATH
variable). But when I specify in Window->Preferences->C/C++->PathEntry
variables variable PATH with location H:\Cygwin\bin, I get warnings:
"Error launching external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD
H:/Program Files/Eclipse
CDT/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.mak e.core/specs.c) "
on each of my projects. But compilation of projects is OK.
I tried to set PATH variable on Properties of project (in Environment),
but results were the same. What's wrong?

Can anyone answer my question? Or my question is incorrect?

I suspect this is because it is using "gcc" but I doubt your compiler is called
"gcc" but something like "xxx-yyy-zzz-gcc". Try changing the 'compiler
invocation command' in your Project Properties (C/C++ Make Project->Discovery
Options) to the name of your compiler.

No, my compiler is called gcc. There are file gcc.exe in Cygwin\bin
directory and cygwin Bash accept command gcc, i.e. gcc --version give me
information about version of compiler.

In that case, try putting /path/to/gcc in the discovery options. I think you can
also use an eclipse variable if you don't want to hard code it.

e.g. set MYPATH in your environment and use
${env-var:MYPATH}/gcc
in the discovery option.
