Answer 1

If the above solutions did not work for you so -

Could be that you did not install C++ compiler packages properly, flow this: (Instructions for Win7, 32bit/64bit)

1. Make sure you install properly one or more of the supporting C++ compiler packages:

   • Eclipse CDT plugin (Installers page) (Installer guide)
   • MinGW package (Install Page)
   • Cygwin package (Install page)

   (I installed MinGW (HowTo Install Videos can be found on YouTube))
   

   In case you choose to install MinGW packages:

   • Download MinGW installer from the Install Page above

   • Run MinGW installer and make sure to choose the following packages:

     - mingw-developer-toolkit
     - mingw32-base
     - mingw32-gcc-g++
     - msys-base
     

   • Add MinGW and MSYS bin paths to your PATH environment variable , if you didn't change the default installation folders you should add:

   C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;

   • Logoff and log back in for making sure Environment vars kicked in
     

2. Create a new C++ project in eclipse:

   • New -> C++ Projects
   • Choose Project type: Executables -> Hello World C++ project
     (Now on the right, under Toolchains you shall see MinGW GCC)
   • Select MinGW GCC from the Toolchains list
   • Hit Finish

3. In you Hello World Project you shall see + src folder, and + Includes (If so you are probably good to go).

4. Build project
5. Run it!
