Displaying info in the eclipse console - c++

I'm trying to compile a C++ project (Hello World) in windows 7 using Eclipse Helios. After creating the project the console shows me the next message:
Internal Builder is used for build **
g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -osrc\hello.o ..\src\hello.cpp
g++ -ohello.exe src\hello.o
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
warning: auto-importing has been activated without --enable-auto-import specified on the command line.
If I open the command line and execute: g++ hello.cpp -Wl,-enable-auto-import, I can generate the exe file and I can run it.
In eclipse after adding the argument "-Wl,--enable-auto-import" in the MinGW C++ Linker - Miscellaneous section, I didn't get any warning however, the console is always empty. Again, using the command line, if I move to the directory and execute the exe file generated by eclipse I get the expected result.
I know that Eclipse is compiling the cpp file properly but, why the eclipse console is not displaying the info? Is something missing in the configuration?
Sorry guys my stupid question.
I appreciate your help.

This looks like an environment variable(s) and/or register paths problem.

error when trying to compile with MinGW: cannot execute cc1plus

I did a clean install of MinGW on Windows 7 32bit with the GUI Installer, and installed
ming32-base-bin
mingw32-gcc-g++-bin
msys-base-bin
When trying to compile a simple "Hello World.cpp" from the cmd.exe i get the error:
C:\Users\Lorenzo\Desktop>g++ "Hello World.cpp" -o"Hello World.exe" -m32
g++: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1plus': CreateProcess: No such file or directory.
compilation terminated.
The weird thing is that by grabbing the file from the desktop and putting it over g++.exe (so that i open the file with the application) in the MinGW directory, i don't get any error.
A temporary fix i found was to have a new environmet variable pointing in the folder where cc1plus is (C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\9.2.0). The program runs but doesn't include the libraries from C:/MinGw/lib and C:/MinGw/Include, i have to include those manually, which shouldn't occur (i guess).
I don't want to do this crude fix since i know i'll encounter some other problems with time.
Ok. I found the solution with some luck.
It is as simple as adding .exe to g++
> g++.exe *input file* -o*output.exe*
Don't Know if it's a bug or not, but this works for me.
I'm not sure which MinGW you used exactly, but it's better to use MinGW-w64.
There is a standalone build you can get from http://winlibs.com/ that doesn't require installation. The site also gives some instructions on how to use it.

G++ Compiler warning when using c++ 17 updates

I'm running g++ compiler on windows 10 with mingw.
On checking compiler version in cmd I get the following:
g++ --version- g++ (MinGW.org GCC Build-2) 9.2.0
same with c++ --version
When I compiled a cpp program making use of structured bindings I got a warning:
warning: structured bindings only available with '-std=c++17' or '-std=gnu++17'
But otherwise the code ran fine.
Does everyone get this warning or am I running a lower version compiler?
I'm using an extension - Competitive programming helper, and this warning interrupts the process.
Hence, if it is the case that everyone gets this warning, is there a way I can block version specific warnings only without having to block all compiler warnings.
TIA.
As the warning itself says:
structured bindings only available with '-std=c++17' or '-std=gnu++17'.
Meaning, you are using cpp version 14 or lower as compiler. However, you also have cpp 17 or higher installed on your system to get such kind of warning.
Your program will still run but with the warning.
For Windows:
If you are using VS code (assuming that you are already using code runner) then,
Open Settings(UI) of VS code (Ctrl + ,)
Search for Code-runner: Executor Map
Click on Edit in settings.json
Something like this will appear:
In cpp section: change it to "cd $dir && g++ -std=c++17 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt" as in the picture above.
It is finally done now.
Below steps are for linux.
Open .bashrc file using command sudo gedit ~/.bashrc in terminal.
In the .bashrc file, add alias g++="g++ --std=c++2a" at the end of the file.
This will always compile your file in cpp+20 version.
Once done, you will not get any warning.
Note:
It is not mandatory to use cpp+20. You can use any version you like.
Change the version according to this website

Program won't start because libmpc-3.dll is missing

I'm trying to compile c++ code in Notepad++. The command I'm running is as follows in the Program to Run box.
C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -o "$(NAME_PART)" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
I get the error saying "The program can't start because libmpc-3.dll is missing...". I checked the MinGW file path and the libmpc-3.dll file is there in the bin folder.
Why would it say the file is missing, or is there something wrong with my command?
Please take a look at this solved question:
MinGW gcc -> libmpc-3.dll missing on 64-Bit Windows 7
Maybe it helps you.

mingw + gcc + gnu + -ggdb -g3 but debugging failed "no source info"

Under Windows with same i686-w64-mingw32-gcc I have two C++ projects. Both with "-ggdb -g3 -O0" - the smaller project I can debug in Eclipse but the larger one says "No source available". Both projects with " -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"
I am failing to figure out what breaks it :(
Smaller project happy gdb:
Larger prodject not happy gdb:
Good makefile:
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/temp_branch/unit_tests/Makefile
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/temp_branch/unit_tests/rules.mk
Bad makefile:
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/temp_branch/win32_functional_tests/Makefile
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/temp_branch/win32_functional_tests/rules.mk
Both projects show symbols with objdump.exe --syms:
Good project symbols:
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/temp_branch/unit_tests/symbols
Bad project symbols:
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/temp_branch/win32_functional_tests/symbols
I would like to be able to debug both projects. What am I doing wrong? :(
Update: I've found a work-around:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc (32bit embedded into Cygwin64) does not work with gdb from cygwin64
but if everything is base 32 bit cygwin things work as expected! Just to reiterate - one project works with 32 compiler from cygwin64 while another one does not, so something must be different - but since I have a workaround I am good.

Compiling DISLIN gfortran

I am having trouble compiling Fortran code with references to DISLIN. I have downloaded DISLIN from the website, unzipped the file and ran the setup. I have added an environment variable called DISLIN (C:\dislin) and added C:\dislin\win to the PATH section of my system variables.
I am trying to compile some example code of the DISLIN website which includes line
USE DISLIN
I am using a MinGW shell to compile with command gfortran -o progrname -ldislin EX11_1.f90 and am getting the following error:
Fatal Error: Cant open module file 'dislin.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory.
I have tried changing the variable path and even moving the dislin.mod file (which is there) but still get the same message.
Ok I fixed this problem so thought I come back and post what worked for me incase any one else needs it...
Install both DISLIN and MinGW on the c drive
Copy disgf.a from /c/dislin and dislin.f90 from /c/dislin/gf into the directory containing your fortran files
(for me this is /c/MinGW/pnote)
Using the MinGW shell navigate to you files: cd /c/MinGW/pnote
compile dislin.f90 and your fortran program: gfortran -c dislin.f90 progName.f90 (dislin.f90 obviously only needs to be done once)
link libraries etc and compile: gfortran progName.o disgf.a -luser32 -lgdi32 -lopengl32 -o exeName
'run' exeName
You probably need to specify the path to the DISLIN module files:
gfortran EX11_1.f90 -o progrname -ldislin -I/path/to/DISLIN/modules
and, if not already configured like described here, also the path to the library itself:
gfortran EX11_1.f90 -o progrname -ldislin -I/path/to/DISLIN/modules \
-L/path/to/DISLIN/library
They provide a batch file (windows) to do the compiling and linking for you.
f90link -c My_Program
This is located in c:\dislin\Win
Also, if you are having trouble with the dislin.mod file which resides in c:\dislin\gf then recompile that with the -c compile option. I found all of this info in c:\dislin\readme.inf
near as I can tell (Jan 2018) dislin (64 bit) fails miserably with gfortran 7.2, period; and probably with many other newer compilers.
When trying to link, gfortran 7 says 'dislin.mod' is an unrecognizable format.
I think this program is highly dependent on exactly correct version synchronization - something that renders such software useless imho after many years in research.
and no, the correctness of various 'paths' seems not to help.
after all, gnuplot works, "at all". Not sure why I spent so much time on brand x.
