Hey there, I have a small problem with compiling and linking with the command prompt(windows xp). Every .c file and .cpp file I compile or link has to be in the same directory as gcc (C:\Program Files\gcc\bin) and its quite hard to keep track of my files among all those gcc related files and its annoying too:). My question is how do I compile a file in a desktop folder using the command prompt?
usually I go:
c:\program files\gcc\bin> gcc -c test.c test2.c
when my source files are in bin.
What command do I use to compile When a file is situated elsewhere.
Right Click My COmputer. GO to properties. Go to advanced tab. There is a button below Environment Variables. Find "PATH" in the global environment variables. Add
c:\program files\gcc\bin
after appending the semicolon at the end of previous entry.
Add this c:\program files\gcc\bin to PATH environment variable.
And then you can execute gcc/g++ from any directory
sounds like you dont have gcc in your PATH environment variable. Either add c:c:\program files\gcc\bin to this variable or call it with the absolute path name from whatever source directory your files are in

I have installed swig on my mac and it works in the console just fine. If I type swig -verison in terminal it spits out the version. Eclipse keeps telling me that it can't find swig. I am using the liquidfun library http://google.github.io/liquidfun/SWIG/html/index.html and it told me to put this export SWIG_BIN=$("which" swig) in .bashrc, which I did. This enviroment variable registers through terminal as well. Eclipse STILL won't grab swig properly. What the hell?
Bash reads .bash_profile, .bash_login or .profile. I don't expect the Eclipse process to load such a file (although I could be wrong) nor the SWIG_BIN variable to augment its search path for executables, but if you launch Eclipse from the shell, it should inherit the shell's environment variables.
Try running swig from eclipse using a full absolute path (the one that "which" returns).
The eclipse.ini file can set some startup parameters but perhaps not the path. There might be other eclipse startup files.
Another possibility is to add swig's directory to the path in a login script. (To test that, log out and back in, then start eclipse.)
When i try to use cgo I get the error
exec gcc: exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%
I have Mingw installed. How do I tell Goclipse where gcc is? I could not find a way in preferences or properties to set this.
Add the path to MinGW gcc to your Windows PATH environment variable.
Setting environment variables under Windows
I had the same problem and just wanted to add that you specifically need to add the path to the bin directory of MinGW to your PATH environment variable. Something like:
C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-7.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0\mingw64\bin
Not enough reputation to make this a comment, so it's an answer.
I'm trying to build a project with a specific compiler in Eclipse, and I'm using a Makefile to do the dirty work -- only problem is that it seems as if Eclipse doesn't share the same paths as my bash sessions. I've set .bash_profile and .profile (apparently Mac likes .profile just as much as .bash_profile), but neither of the exports that I've included are getting picked up. Do I need to manually set some symlinks in my /usr/bin or something like that? Or is there a way to manually set paths in eclipse?
This is because .bash_profile and .profile are read by bash when session is started. So you need to change the build command to bash -l -c "make".
Edited the Makefile and just added the absolute path:
PATH = /Users/me/yagarto/yagarto-4.6.2/bin/
TRGT = $(PATH)arm-none-eabi-
I have a makefile project with makefiles generated by Eclipse CDT (Helios, MinGW). The "clean" command does not work because the "del" command is executed with arguments like ./src/myfile.o, but on Windows this doesn't work (should be .\src\myfile.o).
How can I either tell Eclipse to use the Windows Path Separator or otherwise maybe replace the command "del" by something different (I could easily write a batch script which replaces the forward-slashes by backslashes)?
Thanks for any hints!
There is simple solution, create a makefile.defs file in your project's main directory with the following content:
RM := rm -rf
Basically this file lets you override variables from auto-generated makefile and RM is wrapper for remove command.
The best option is to download and install GnuUtils http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/coreutils/5.3.0/coreutils-5.3.0.exe/download
and add the installed directory (C:\ProgramFile???\GnuWin32\bin)to your windows path and restart eclipse.Eclipse should execute rm-rf now...if it still doesnt ...restart windows and check your path again to see if it has \GnuWin32\bin ...then restart eclipse...
in your msys bin directory (C:\msys\1.0\bin on my machine) create a copy of rm.exe and rename it del.exe.
this is a hack. i am not familiar with the differences between the rm and del arguments. the base functionality is there. (delete file1 file2 filen)
in windows there is no del.exe, the delete functionality is built into CMD.exe. eclipse runs the commands in the msys shell which does not have the del functionality. this prevents you from adding a path to eclipse in which to search for del.exe.
i tried many different things to get the managed make to put "RM := rm" in the makefile but failed.
Edit the makefiles to use the mingw rm command instead?
Before you rename rm.exe to del.exe, check the path in Eclipse. The path has to have Unix path separators (forward slash, /) and not the Windows path separator (backslash, \).
This has fixed the problem on my side.
Is it possible to add custom command-line arguments to an Eclipse .app folder? In my particular case, I'm working with ZendStudio. I'm assuming the base Eclipse release would behave the same way.
I've found what looks like two different places that could work, but neither yield any results:
ZendStudio.app\Contents\info.plist
ZendStudio.app\Contents\MacOS\ZendStudio.ini
Am I looking in the right place, or is this even possible?
If you mean that you want to start Eclipse with some command line arguments, there is no file where you can add those to be used as default. But you can make a small script that will start Eclipse with the arguments you want, something like:
/Applications/Eclipse.app/Context/MacOS/eclipse some command line arguments
and then add executable permissions to your script, through Terminal window:
chmod 755 your_file
you can just type "chmod 755 " on the terminal and then drag and drop the script file on the terminal window, it will type the file's full path onto it, press ENTER and that's it. You can double-click your script file and it will start up Eclipse with the command line arguments you typed.
