someone help me please, i cannot get the CDT installed in my Eclipse 2.1.
I suspect it might have something to do with Cygwin installed on my
machine. Any alterations i should make to the PATH env variable after i
install Cygwin.
Cheers :)

nvm guys, managed to do it. :-)Now the problem seems to be with building a
simple C++ project. I get:
Build Error
(Exec error:Launching failed)
Any idea what it might be .Cheers

Yes, you do have to have either Cygwin or MinGW installed on ur host.
Here's where u can download then from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
http://www.mingw.org/
After u install u can set the path variable to include the bin
subdirectory of ur installation path or instead just have the full path to
ur make.exe and g++.exe in ur makefile.
On Windows, u set the path by the command "SET
PATH=<cygwin_path/bin>:%PATH%

Anyway, here's what my makefile for the example tutorial looks like after
modification
CXX = C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\g++.exe
CXXFLAGS = -g

all : main.o
${CXX} ${CXXFLAGS} -o hello.exe main.o

clean :
rm -rf hello.exe main.o

U should also change the Build Command for the project to ur make.exe. U
do this by right clicking the project->properties->C/C++ project then type
in the path to ur make.exe in the Build Command box. Hope this helps
Gd luck!!
