I'm having trouble running C in eclipse. It first gives me weird syntax errors or tells me that

# include <stdio.h> is an "Unresolved inclusion"

It also will not let me build, saying "(Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)"

Am I missing something? please help.

Thanks

Which platform are you running this on ?

When I was running Eclipse 3.3 on Ubuntu 7.10, I remember encountering a similar error (for a Linux GCC toolchain based project), So I had to install the package build-essential (which includes GNU Make, GCC and other tools).

However I do not have much idea about about the first problem.

Hi there...

If you are using Eclipse on Windows then read below...

For windows, you should download eclipse-cpp-ganymede-win32.zip from http://eclispe.org. This comes with a inbuilt gnu compiler (gcc etc)... If still you are not able to compile please install MiniGW from http://minigw.org... This is free gnu compiler...

Further if you have issues please post your problems...

# include <stdio.h> is an "Unresolved inclusion"

Have a look at this thread, should be the same problem your facing as well. The GCC should have been confused on where the include files are located. I would really guess it shouldn't. but its worth a try!

for "unresolved inclusion" when trying to use eclipse for C++ headers like <iostream> (in windows)

1. Download Automated MinGW Installer
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
2. In the environment variable for windows under "Path" add C:\MinGW\bin (or wherever you installed it)
3. Download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
4. Restart the computer
5. In eclipse when creating a new project MiniGW GCC should show up in the toolchain

After that if you get a "Launch failed binary not found"
1. Click the hammer button (build it) before you hit the play button (run it)

This doesn't make sense. I have C++ compilers on my computer already, VS C++, DevCpp, etc. I used Eclipse classic and installed the packages for java, D, python/jython, etc. Installing another build of eclipse over the one I have would be pointless at best, and destructive at worst.

Pydev works. Java works. When I try to compile hello world in c++, I get these errors about the include files and not being able to run the program "make".

if you followed the Eclipse instructions you installed MinGW but not MingW make, which you installed with MSYS. then the path needs to show that... in the build configuration append c:/msys/1.0/bin to c:/mingw/bin
