Eclipse C++ Setup

I want to switch from Dev-C++ to Eclipse (Version 12/18, 4.10.0) , but I am not able to Compile in Eclipse. I installed MinGW, edited the Pathvariable, restared the PC, installed the C++ Eclipse IDE, created a new Project there I choosed MinGW as my Compiler, and wrote a Hello World.

The Code is:

#include<iosteam>
using namespace std;
int main(){
  cout << "Hello World!";
  return 0;
}

The Error Message I get is the following:

error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory

What do I need to do to be able to build/run Proramms?

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • You have everything you need to be able to build/run programs. Maybe something is flawed in the configuration. You should separate the tasks to find out the problem.

    First try to compile your minimal example by executing g++ from a console like that: g++ main.cpp. If you get the same error message then you have to fix your Mingw-w64 setup.

    If this works, then something is wrong with eclipse. You might want to check different project types. When using Makefile projects, you perhaps have more possibilities to do checks on the console.
