Hi,
I need help with initialisation settings of C/C++ Eclipse. I have install C/C++ Eclipse Juno, MinGW and msys. I put C:\Program Files\MinGW\bin to the PATH and Build "Hello world c++ program" --> Eclipse gave me error:

Description Resource Path Location Type
sh -c "autoreconf -i"
Cannot run program "sh": Launching failed

Error: Program "sh" not found in PATH
PATH=[C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Broadcom\Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\Diskeeper Corporation\ExpressCache\;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\runtime\win64;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\bin;C:\Program Files\MinGW\bin]
Text_project -1 Configure Problem

What can I do next?

Thank you for any help.

Well, you created an Autotools project. You should create a normal Executable project and then choose the toolchain you want to use.
see http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/367218/895233/#msg_895233

I think I gave this answer a dozen times during the last weeks. But nobody seems to use the search function!!!!

Is there any answer to this problem say to a Windows user who wants to use autotools via Eclipse? I mean "don't use it" is fine for some but it is a feature of Eclipse - why wouldn't it work?

Autotools is meant for Linux.
It is for configuring a package to build under the current Linux
distribution. It is NOT part of Eclipse.

Yes, you can get it to run under Windows but you'd have to
modify it first. Windows configurations don't change much
so getting at to work under Windows seems pointless.

Hello,

It must be some supertrivial problem but...
I simply can not run or debug the "official" helloworld program. It builds without errors, but when I launch it simply terminates with exit code 0.
This is a gtk version of Helloworld which should pop up a small window with a button, which after pressing should print "Hello world" in terminal.
If I start the binary from terminal (from Debug/ folder e.g) it works.

ubuntu 20.04 eclipse 21-09 versions. Managed c++ project, linux toolchain default settings. External build. The debug/run configuration by default set correctly, points to the executable which is there as I wrote I can run it from terminal.

Additional infos:

Sometimes , I don't know why it works. Window pops up and program runs say in debug mode. After I stop it it never runs again. There is a popup window - I suppose message but too fast to see what it says.
Starting eclipse from command line there are error messages:

Unable to find full path for "-E"
Unable to find full path for "-E"
Unable to get $PATH.
Unable to find full path for "gcc"
Unable to get $PATH.
Unable to find full path for "-E"
Unable to find full path for "-E"
Unable to find full path for "-std=c++17"
Unable to find full path for "-E"
Unable to find full path for "-std=c++17"

The project build variables obviously have the proper PATH which contains the proper location for gcc. For the other errors I do not understand what they stand for. I haven't found anything about them.

thanks
