I have a problem. Many have the same question but I didn't find the answer.

I installed gcc-4.9.0 on my PC but Eclipse won't find it. I used the default installation path:

C:\MinGW

  1. Setting PATH variable, add something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-6.2.0-win32-dwarf-rt_v5-rev1\mingw32\bin"
  2. DO COPY gcc.exe to mingw32-gcc.exe in your path above
