| What if CDT doesn't detect the toolchain? [message #227169] |

Platform: Win XP with Eclipse Ganymede and CDT installed. I yanked the
MINGW installation I had and replaced it with the one from nuwen.net
(which bundles the Boost library), putting the new MINGW installation in
a different directory than the old one had occupied. I checked that
gcc.exe etc. are on the system path, but Eclipse is showing only
"--Other Toolchain--", and if I use a project-specific configuration to
pick the GNU toolchain, it tells me it's not supported on my system.
I've done a -clean restart of Eclipse, uninstalled/reinstalled the CDT
stuff, but nothing is working. I've seen posts where people installed
the nuwen distro and then Ganymede and got it to work, so I don't think
it's a compatibility problem. Any ideas?

I found a reference (http://cdt-devel-faq.wikidot.com/) to the detection
mechanism. (Took me a while to find the right search terms.) The MinGW
bundle from nuwen.net does not mess with the Windows registry, and in
particular does not have an uninstaller. I did not install it in any of
the specific locations where CDT checks, either. So I faked the
uninstall registry key and CDT found it. Maybe this will help someone else.

Would you mind paste the content of detection machanism you found. I can't
open the link you give below. I'm trying to use eclipse with cross platform
tool chain for arm, but those couldn't be found in eclipse supported tool
chain list window, so I wanna find what I can do to add those cross tool
chain into the list.
