I have a c++ Project that was compiled with the cygwin toolchain, now I want to use Eclipse to compile and test it.
If I create a project (cygwin toolchain is set in the options) I get the error:
make: *** No rule to make target `all'. 7wWin line 0 C/C++ Problem
In Cygwin I use:
cd $BUILDDIR
make
make install
Can Eclipse create it's own makefile? And how to setup that.
Better would be a good tutorial how to compile a Cygwin c++ project with Eclipse.

I have installed MinGW 3 times and I've also added path in env. variable but whenever I try to run a code in CodeLight it just gives me the following error:
mingw-32-make.exe: *** [ALL] Error 2
In MinGW installation tutorials there are .exe files in the bin folder but I don't have any .exe file in the bin folder inside MinGW. I've tried installing it 3 and very carefully.
Can someone help me out?
Make sure the compiler and build tools are properly configured in the IDE (CodeLight).
Installing MinGW by itself doesn't tell CodeLight were to find it.
There is a standalone MinGW-w64 personal build available at http://winlibs.com/ that doesn't need installation, just unzip it. On the site there is an explanation on he wot configure Code::Blocks IDE to use this compiler. The steps should be pretty similar in CodeLight.
First of all, I know that this question already exists multiple times in Stackoverflow but the answers provided for all of them didn't solve my issue(See section "Solutions worked for others" at the end of this question).
I am using the Eclipse IDE(Juno) with CDT plugin and Cygwin installed in my Windows-7 64-bit platform.
I successfully compiled and run the Hello World 'C' program but the Hello World "C++ program" is having Launch failed. Binary not found error.
I am also having recipe for target project.exe failed error in my auto-generated makefile.
Error line in makefile: #echo 'Building target: $#'
Additionally:
In c/c++ build -> toolchain editor ->
Current toolchain : Cygwin GCC
Current Builder : Gnu Make Builder
Used Tools:
GCC Assembler,
GCC Archiver,
Cygwin C++ Compiler,
Cygwin C Compiler,
Cygwin C Linker,
Cygwin C++ Linker.
When I change Current Builder from "Gnu Make Builder" to "CDT Internal Builder" the recipe for target project.exe failed error disappears but the Launch failed. Binary not found error still exists.
And also I dont have MinGW installed.
Solutions worked for others :
Before running the project directly using the run command, first Build the project and then run.
I build the project every time before I run it.
Eclipse can't find or point to an .exe file but the exe file runs fine when run from windows explorer and the answer to it is add -arch i386 to miscellaneous under linker.
My build runs without error but not creating the exe file. So this doesnt apply to me
Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Binary Parsers
set "Cygwin PE Parser" and/or " PE Window Parser" and alike.
Tried all of them with different combinations but did not work
I also did :
adding the cygwin install dir to the path variable
added all the includes folders needed for cygwin for both GNU C and GNU C++ in Paths-and-Symbols -> includes
Saved the project before building and then running
restarted eclipse again
checked if g++ is installed using which g++ in terminal
and so on.
What could be a fix to this problem? Or do I have to install MinGW (I tried already to install MinGW with the installer.exe they provided and it failed on downloading the files several times) and try again.
I couldn't find the solution. Please show me what am I missing here.
Thanks in advance.
I installed the CDT package via Install Software option in Eclipse, and after that, I installed the Command Line Tools using Xcode on my Mac. I am running Eclipse Juno on Mountain Lion.
After installing command line tools, I exported the paths with:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
export CC=/usr/bin/g++
In eclipse, I'm getting this error with auto-generated HelloWorld executable projects and autotools:
Error 127 occured while running autoreconf
make: *** No rule to make target 'all'.
From what I have found, the second has to do with g++, but I'm not really sure what the issue is.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
Hopefully you've installed the XCode command line tools.
Also you might need to configure the project.
Ideally you invoke aclocal, automake --add-missing and then autoconf.
Then run configure and make. You might need the -i option for autoconf.
I want to build and run my project in Netbeans. I generated a simple class (nothing edited) and did run it.
This is what was shown in the output:
make: *** [.validate-impl] Segmentation fault
nbproject/Makefile-impl.mk:90: recipe for target `.validate-impl' failed
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 678ms)
I already installed Cygwin and the C++ compiler is set.
I hope you could help me!
You seems to not have the binary needed to execute make.
Try this :
install MSYS or Cygwin
Then :
In netbeans go to Tools --> options
Go in C/C++ pane, and here set your g++ compiler (you find it in the install directory of above tools) and your make command
I'm trying to configure my NetBeans on win7 64bit, to work with the MinGW-w64.
So I put in the %PATH% variable the following paths of the compiler:
C:\mingw-w64-bin_i686\mingw\bin
C:\minGw-MSYS\msys\bin
C:\mingw-w64-bin_i686\libexec\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.7.0
Then I opened NetBeans and this was configured:

I tried to compile a little test program but I received this error:
g++.exe: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin-0.dll not
found compilation terminated. make[2]: *
[dist/Debug/MinGW-Windows/test.exe] Error 1 make1: [.build-conf]
Error 2 make: ** [.build-impl] Error 2
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 1s)
I do have this file in C:\mingw-w64-bin_i686\libexec\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.7.0
what am I missing?
Right, after months of putting this off I've finally sat down and done it. I'll probably make a more detailed post on my blog with pretty pictures but here is a trimmed down SO version which will hopefully be enough for you (and everyone else) to get going with.
Prerequisites
Remove MinGW, MSYS and CMake if you have them and can afford to lose them (we will reinstall MinGW (obv.) and MSYS but not CMake as it doesn't appear to be needed.)
Netbeans or other suitable IDE
64bit Windows.
EnvMan (optional but handy for managing Windows Environment
variables.)
Installation
MinGW-W64 C compiler and MSYS
Download and install MinGW-W64
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ (link is on the left menu with a
hyperlink called 'WIN64 Downloads'.)
There are a lot of versions which can be a bit complicated. We are
going with mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20111220 (although the numbers at
the end may be different) which basically says we want the version
with the windows binaries.
Once the download is complete (about 300mb so 10min or so) extract to
C:\MinGW-W64 or similar. Make sure there aren't any spaces in the
path!
Download MSYS for MinGW-W64
Took a bit of searching
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/MSYS is the wiki for
it and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/MSYS%20%2832-bit%29/
is where I found the download and the version I went with was
MSYS-20111123
Once the download is complete extract the files to C:\MSys or
similar. Make sure there aren't any spaces in the path!
Setup
Add 'C:\MinGW-W64\bin' to your Windows PATH variable.
Add 'C:\MSys\msys\bin' to your Windows PATH variable.
Start Netbeans and go to Tools -> Options -> C/C++.
Click 'Add' under 'Tool Collection' and select the base directory of
MinGW-W64 (C:\MinGW-W64\bin).
Select 'MinGW' from 'Tool Collection Family' if it isn't
auto-detected and click 'OK'.
Set the 'C Compiler to C:\MinGW-W64\bin\x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe.
Set the 'C++ Compiler to C:\MinGW-W64\bin\x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe.
Set the 'Make Command' to C:\MSys\msys\bin\make.exe.
And that should be it!
I should note that I am using the system to compile a library file to be use via JNI so have some additional steps for that which I missed out as they weren't needed here. However I made a quick 'Hello World' program and it compiled and ran nicely.
Happy coding!
I have just downloaded the latest automated build, unzipped it, added the main bin directory to path, and run:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc test.cpp -o test.exe
and
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -fuse-linker-plugin test.cpp -o test.exe
and it works. The same for the i686 variant. Your IDE is doing something wrong. Or you shouldn't have messed with the files. Or you shouldn't have removed the prefixes. Seriously.
PS: You only have to add the main "bin" directory to PATH, all the rest is wrong.
With some searching via your favorite Internet search engine, I have come across a better approach to quickly add MinGW-x64 to a Windows 64-bit system. On the Sourceforge site is MSYS2.
While following the installation directions and obtaining the most up to date packages, there may be a time out at the primary mirror site on Sourceforge. If so, follow the mirror site update directions and update the three pacman text files in the respective MSYS2 directory (e.g. /etc/pacman.d). Then proceed to complete the package updates from the MSYS2 installation directions.
Within the MSYS2 packages are things like gcc, llvm, make, dmake, etc. Here is the command used from the MSYS2 command line shell (e.g. bash) to install the GNU make utility:
$ pacman -S msys/make
The executable location it will be placed is: /usr/bin inside the MSYS2 command shell. As far as configuring Netbeans for where make.exe is located, the Windows path is:
MSYS2 installation directory\usr\bin\make.exe
(e.g. C:\msys64\usr\bin\make.exe).
To successfully build C++ with Netbeans, I used the GNU make package (e.g. msys/make). Then in order to use the default make files that Netbeans manages, and to not interfere with other C++ compilers within your Windows installation (e.g. Visual Studio, Intel, CLang from Visual Studio, etc.), run Netbeans from the MinGW-x64 command shell provided by MSYS2. In this way, the environment variables and other things like:
ls rm mkdir
will indicate successful execution and compilation within the Netbeans internal terminal window. I opened the MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell by navigating to the installed shortcut from MSYS2's installation. Then pasted into the MinGW-x64 shell command line, the Target property value from the Netbeans Windows desktop shortcut:
$ "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetBeans 7.4\bin\netbeans.exe"
And then could finally create the respective debug and release object and executable files. I also modified the Netbeans project output to be within the MSYS2 directory structure. Then run the executable within the MSYS2 MinGW-x64 shell. Running from the Netbeans IDE produces this error message:
Unable to start pty process: The application failed with exit code
-1073741515 (0xc0000135).
If the MSYS2 path were in the computer system's PATH environment variable, then perhaps this error would not happen.
