I installed Eclipse (Helios) for the Java programming language, but I also want to use it for programming in C / C ++, Python, and Ruby. I installed CDT and DLTK (for Python and Ruby).
I already have mingw-w64 (Windows platform) installed. How to configure Eclipse to use MinGW as a toolchain? It seems to detect MinGW as a toolchain, but when I create the project, two warnings already appear, saying "Error starting an external scanner information generator." I guess this is because it cannot find the compiler program. In addition, it does not detect any of the standard library header files. Could these problems be because I use mingw-w64 and not the standard MinGW?
Ruby works for me, but as for Python, it cannot find the interpreter and system library by default. I already have Python 2.7 installed. I do not know how to tell Eclipse where to look for files.
Note. I am on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I have heard that people on 64-bit versions of Vista have difficulty working with mingw-w64. Maybe I have the same problem. Ignoring Eclipse, when I try to compile a C file using gcc, it has problems finding libraries and including them.
Change If I set the path to / bin / and / libexec / through environment variables, I don’t get the initial errors when creating the project, but what I want to know, how can I set the paths through Eclipse? Also, even if I set the paths, the linker still cannot find the libraries and includes. I went to Project> Properties> C / C ++ Build> Settings and tried to install the libraries and enabled this path, but it still could not find them (at least in the libraries)! Moreover, I really should have done this for every project? This option is not available in the window> Settings>.
