Setup help(can't compile) [message #176064]

I can't seem to get anything to compile with this. I installed mingw(all
necessary parts, I'm sure it's installed right) to C:\mingw\ and added
C:\mingw\bin\ to the path variable. Running 'make' at a command prompt
sucessfully run make.exe. When I try to build something in Eclipse(managed
make project) I get the message '(Exec error:Launching failed)' I just
installed CDT, so all settings are still default. What can i do to get
this working?

I got it working after i restarted eclipse(not sure why that helped), but
now It gives me 451 errors :(

All that was left in the console can be found here

Anyone know what's going on?

Hi Jeff,

Did you try to restart eclipse again?

What program are you trying to compile? Try compiling it with g++ in the
command line:
g++ program.cpp

Regards,

Mus

Jeff,

you must restart eclipse after changing the PATH variable for your system so
that eclipse gets to see the new setting. Obviously this has happened.

Now your compiler gives you tons of errors about undeclared symbols. Have
you missed #includ ing any headers?

As far as I can see it should compile fine, it's just a simple
program(below) i was using to make sure the compiler was working. Running
it through g++ straight from the command prompt has the same string of
errors.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << "Test" << std::endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}

It seems that you have incopmlete "include" files on your hard drive...(just
guessing, from looking at your error messages)
Try reinstalling "mingw"

I tried reinstalling the mingw files several times, even using a different
program to decompress them so I know it wasn't some bug that didn't
decompress them properly. Maybe i missed a package that I need? So far
I've been trying with
gcc-core, gcc-g++, gdb, w32-api, and make

Problem solved, i just did it using the official installer rather than
installing all packages by hand(The installer was listed as candidate, so
I thought i might not be able to just install the stable versions, but it
could :) )
