I am having hard times to configure Eclipse Juno to for C/C++. I am a Windows user, so I have installed Cygwin
and MinGW
, and CDT
under Eclipse. Also configured the PATH
variable correctly, though I still do not have any new toolchain in Eclipse C/C++ new project.
These are my Eclipse details:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Juno Release
Build id: 20120614-1722
Also, see image of installed component of Eclipse. Enclosed some outout from Windows command line:

I am also familiar with Why doesn't MinGW show up in the list of Eclipse/Indigo CDT Toolchains? and How to deal with Eclipse CDT+Cygwin? and http://wyding.blogspot.com/2009/04/setup-cygwin-toolchain-in-eclipse-cdt.html
Could anyone help me realize what is wrong?
I have the same problem. I have found two possible solutions:
Uncheck "Show project types and toolchains only if they are supported on the platform" when you choose "New Project->C++ Project->Project Type: Executable".
Uninstall the "GNU Autotools", then you can see options that you want.
