Hello,

I'm working in Windows vista with Eclipse INDIGO and MinGW 4.6.2

I compile and run the "Hello world" program without problems.

The question is that Eclipse's editor says that "Symbol 'std' could not be resolved"

I added these path in the project properties to avoid the " Unresolved inclusion" message:

At eclipse: project > properties > C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols > GNU C++ > Add : C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.6.2\include\c++

What can I do to avoid the "Symbol 'std' could not be resolved" problem?

Regards: Ramón

It is a bug reported and not solved: Bug 353719 - Built-in includes seem to be broken for Cross GCC

Now I'm using the previous version eclipse Helios that works without the bug.

Do you perhaps have an operating system which is not set to US English as default language?
I am working with a set-up almost exactly as you have, and have been struggling with a similar problem since I upgraded MinGW to 4.6.2.

Normally, CDT should detect the installation of MinGW and also auto-discover include configurations and symbols when you build a project.
There should be no need to manually add those standard include paths.

The way CDT does this is by compiling a small file, and analyzing the output of the compiler.
It then extracts all necessary compiler configuration from this output, e.g. include-paths and symbols.
You can find these option under: "(Project) Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Discovery Options".


Since a few versions ago (I don't know the exact one), MinGW enabled support for localized compiler output.
If you are running a French operating system, you will get French compiler warnings and messages.

CDT doesn't like this; it's auto-discovery becomes broken, and you are left with an editor which doesn't know about the standard library includes.


To fix this, I forced the compiler to use English output when building:
Under "Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment", add two new environment variables "LANG" and "LC_ALL" and set them both to "en_US".

Rebuild your project, and CDT should discover the correct include paths again.

You should select the MinGW-Toolchain in Eclipse and not Cross GCC. Then scanner discovery will find all the includes automatically.
