Eclipse CDT plugin problems

Question

im trying to run a c program on my windows 7 computer using eclipse and im running into a little snag. I currently have Eclipse downloaded on my computer with the CDT plugin

Answer 1

The error is: there is no make in %PATH. Make is UNIX utility to help building a projects. For windows OS, the make utility is part of msys, not of mingw32.

According to your path and to my setup of mingw and msys, you have no msys installed (or the path of Msys was not recorded in system %PATH variable).

For you, msys will be like this path in $PATH variable:

  C:\MINGW\msys\1.0\Bin;

Msys can be downloaded from http://www.mingw.org/ too.

If you did a download of universal installer (it is the easiest variant), you just should check, is there a make.exe file in the C:\MINGW\msys\1.0\Bin directory and add this directory to the system PATH variable.
