I downloaded the CDT from eclipse site , download cygwin, add some development packages as g++ / gcc / make.
you have two option:
add the bin directory into the path (C:\cygwin\bin).
or goto -> windows->prefrences->c/c++ -> build->environment click add .
set varibale name to PATH and the VALUE to C:\cygwin\bin, make sure the "Append variable to native" is checked.
Configure the GDB:
Go to Windows->Preference->C/C++ -> Debug -> Common Source Lookup. add following 'Path mapping'.
in case you get error like
"Program not Binary" error while trying to debug while running your compile program
Go to the project property choose
Make project --> and in the tab Binary Parser
choose :
"Cygwin PE binary parser"
Another option is to use the
Mingw, install it with the msys ,
goto -> windows->prefrences->c/c++ -> build->environment click add .
set varibale name to PATH and the VALUE to C:\mingw\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin, make sure the "Append variable to native" is checked.
