Eclipse CDT, configuration MinGW GCC [message #719969]

Hi,

I am using Eclipse Galileo as IDE for C/C++ development. I have also installed the CDT plugin(V 6.0.0). I have also installed MinGW (516).

I have a very small project with the Makefile. While I try to build the project, the consol stops with the following error

**** Build of configuration MinGW GCC for projectTest ****
**** WARNING: The "MinGW GCC" Configuration may not build ****
**** because it uses the "cdt.managedbuild.toolchain.gnu.mingw.base" ****
**** tool-chain that is unsupported on this system. ****
**** Attempting to build... ****
(Cannot run program "mingw32": Launching failed)

Could any one please help me on this. Please also find the snap shot attached.

Hi,

is the path to your MinGW installation in the environment variable 'PATH'?
If NOT, add it.

Regards
Dirk

I would advise to install the latest Eclipse/CDT version (Indigo release).

Hello Dirk and Alex,

Thank you very much for your replies.
Yes this problem was infact due to the missing path to MinGW. I dont know how this path got deleated which I had updated long time ago. May be during installation of some software.

As adviced I will install the latest Eclipse version.

Thank you once again for the quick responce,
Chethan
