Install Eclipse CDT on Windows 7

How to install Eclipse CDT on Windows 7.

First of all we need a c++ compiler for Windows. The most popular c++ compiler is mingw. You can download it on the sourceforge project page.

We need 2 packages from this page.

1. mingw installer

2. minsys installer

First step is to install mingw. This is realy easy.

Now we install MINSYS.

Next step is to set system variables.

Open your Contorl Panel:

Now we are ready to start Eclipse. If you have Eclipse already in use you need only to install the CDT plugin. If you don’t use Eclipse yet, dowload the CDT – Version from eclipse projekt page. Now start Eclipse and create a new C++ Hello World Projekt.

    Thanks a bunch, Banym! I worked on trying to get CDT working in Win 7 for about 3 hours before finding this post, and I’m not sure I would have gotten it done without you!

    Thanks for the tutorial. However, the direct links are broken.

    You need to go to ptoject website, and click the big download button (download mingw-get-inst-). It also includes the minsys, make sure you select it when installing Mingw.

    The minsys is installed inside Mingw folder (c:\mingw\minsys), so don’t forget to change this on the PATH as well.
