mingw and cygwin on a Windows XP machine (newbee question!) [message #164929]

I have both mingw and cygwin on a Windows XP machine.
Today I installed the latest Eclipse, with the CDT, and wrote a 'Hello
World' test program successfully.

I would like Eclipse to use the mingw complier. However, looking through
the project's settings Eclipse seems to have created its own PATH
variable with c:/cygwin/bin ahead of a suitable path to the mingw binaries.

I can't figure out how to tell Eclipse that I do not want c:/cygwin/bin
in the path (editing doesn't seem to be enabled).

Moreover, my Windows environment variables do not refer to either cygwin
or mingw directories!

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Blair,

I filed this as a bug and was told by the developers that the gnu.ui CDT
tool chain is for CYGWIN only and if we want something that will work
well with MINGW and MSYS we should go do it ourselves.

I would be interested. I would like to see Eclipse work with QT 4.

Set Path to cover C:/MinGW/bin, and in
Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Tool Settings,
set the Command for compiler, linker, assembler to C:/MinGW/bin/g++, etc.
