RE: [cdt-dev] builder and MinGW

I compile with MinGW to build executables and I build projects that use makefiles within Eclipse CDT.

 

I have not had any problem but I think the make it uses is actually the msys make which in my Windows computer it is located at: C:\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe

 

I hope this helps and best regards,

Felipe

Subject: [cdt-dev] builder and MinGW

 

I'm trying to use CDT with MinGW for the first time and am having some trouble. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or this is just indicative of a bad out-of-the box experience for our MinGW users. The problems I'm experiencing are with a C project I created using the wizard, having chosen MinGW as the toolchain.

For starters, mingw's make is called mingw32-make. When I build the project, the builder assumes 'make' is available. So, I hit that wall right out of the gate. I can get passed this by renaming the mingw make program to 'make'. Are we expecting users to take this manual step?

Now the project builds but I get these warnings in the console

****  WARNING: The "Debug" Configuration may not build  ****
****  because it uses the "Cygwin GCC"  ****
****  tool-chain that is unsupported on this system.  ****

The used tools (as showing in the Tool Chain Editor properties page) are:

GCC Assembler
GCC Archiver
GCC C++ Compiler
GCC C Compiler
MinGW C Linker
MinGW C++ Linker

Note that I have not tweaked the wizard generated project. Also, I get the same behavior whether I use Gnu Make Builder or CDT Internal Builder.

Can someone enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong or why our MinGW support is quirky?

John
