Please read sticky posts at top of forum.
This post is among the top google search results for this question and like many of the top google search results involving software development, the answers tell the asker to look somewhere else. The diligent asker will take the advice and look at the sticky posts at the top of the forum as such:
Quote:sticky: Trouble with Android Development Tools (ADT)? READ THIS FIRST
Not Applicable
Quote:sticky: Trouble getting Eclipse to run? READ THIS FIRST
Advises to install the latest or correct architecture of the JVM.
Not Applicable
Quote:Announcement: New forum members, READ THIS FIRST.
Mentions forum etiquette and that C/C++ developers should look at another sticky post:
Quote:Problems with C/C++ in Eclipse? Read this.
states that C/C++ developers are welcome to the newcomer group but might get more help asking in the cdt specific group: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.tools.cdt
(no stickies here)
Quote:Announcement: Linux + Eclipse users, read this!
Not Applicable (Running Windows 7, per original post)
Quote:sticky: Problems with C/C++ in Eclipse? Read this.
same as above
After spending the time to read through all the stickies, the newcomer trying to get their C/C++ environment working in eclipse has been told several times to look and ask somewhere else, specifically the CDT forums which have no stickies or instructions to get your eclipse project to recognize your gcc/g++ (even if you have it installed and it's in your PATH).
My point is that it would be hugely beneficial to the developer community as a whole if we were more helpful to each other and consider that answering someone's question directly will help many, many other people as well.
In my case, I found that the toolchain is generated when the project is created and if you don't have the tools installed before hand, you need to manually configure your project's toolchain or re-create the project. If you don't have gcc/g++ on Windows you can use the recommended MinGW installer at sourceforge. This forum won't allow me to link externally to MinGW or I would.

The sticky about CDT at the top of this forum suggests you ask your
C/C++ question in the Eclipse CDT forum. It doesn't say there are more
stickies there.
The Eclipse CDT forum is a place, like the Eclipse newcomers forum,
where you ask a question and get it answered. In this case, lots of
Eclipse C/C++ users are there to help solve your problems, more than
haunt the newcomers' forum. It's not to put you off.
