Eclipse C++ Problem

[Judahnator]

A buddy and I decided to dig into C++ some, but are running into problems.

 

I have used Eclipse before, and knew it was good for C/C++ as well as the other languages I was using. So we decided to stick with that.

 

My problem is im getting the errors:

• program "g++" not found in PATH
• program "gcc" not found in PATH

What are these? And how do i put them into the "PATH"? I cant seem to find anything useful in a simple google search.

 

 

Many thanks!

gcc and g++ are compilers for C and C++ respectively, and PATH is the environment variables for letting the operating system know where to look for the compilers. 

 

for recent windows editions, go to "This PC" (almost said my computer) , right click properties -> advanced system settings -> 

 

 

you might need to install those compilers separately, and they should automatically be added to your path variable. 

otherwise, just find the folder that those g++.exe and gcc.exe is located and put that into the path variable with semicolons separating them.
