Solution

  • Your question is absolutely clear enough, you can safely ignore those useless clueless comments. The same just happened to me.

    You need:

    1. Visual C++ compiler (cl.exe) installed as part of a Visual Studio distribution. The plug-in is stil a "Beta" plug-in that does NOT replace Visual Studio. Instead it just knows to invoke the Visual C++ compiler (cl.exe) with the right parameters
    2. To run the Visual Studio Command Prompt and copy PATH, INCLUDE, LIB, and LIBPATH to the Environment section of your C++ Project in eclipse. Do this by typing "set" in the command prompt and copying the corresponding four environment variables.

    Right-click your C++ project | Properties | C++ Build (or something related to Build) | Environment, add these. This is on a machine running Visual Studio 2010 on 64 bits:

    PATH
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VSTSDB\Deploy;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\VCPackages;C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin;

INCLUDE
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\include;

LIB
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\LIB;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\ATLMFC\LIB;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\lib;

LIBPATH
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\LIB;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\ATLMFC\LIB;
