I'm trying to learn C as new to programming. I have a Windows 10 machine and have installed NetBeans 8.2 C/C++ version.
I am trying to add the correct Cygwin compiler directory to the right path so everything will run smoothly.
I have completed everything below but point 4 in bold.
The instructions below are from :https://netbeans.org/community/releases/80/cpp-setup-instructions.html#compilers_windows
which teaches you how to install the basic Cygwin GNU gcc and g++ compilers, make and the gdb debugger.I won't be needing anything more than that to learn basic C.
My Environmental Variables look like:
enter image description here
When I click paths on Environmental Variables I have a whole list of paths and I don't know how to 'Add the path to the cygwin-directory\bin directory to the Path variable' in point 4 below.
Please, how do I do this and to which path or am I adding a whole new path?
Any help is most appreciated.
My list of path looks like:
enter image description here
' To install the GNU gcc and g++ compilers, make, and gdb debugger from cygwin.com:
1.Refer to the Cygwin User's Guide for complete information about installing and using Cygwin.
2.Download the Cygwin setup-x86.exe (32-bit installation) or setup-x86_64.exe (64-bit installation) program by clicking Install Cygwin in the left navigation bar, or by clicking the direct setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe link.
Note: The bitness of Windows OS, Java, and NetBeans IDE installed on your machine must match. For example, if you are running the 64-bit version of Windows operating system, 64-bit Java and 64-bit Cygwin (that is setup-x86_64.exe) are required to be installed. See issue 234221 for details.
Run the downloaded Cygwin installer. Accept the defaults until you reach the Select Your Internet Connection page. Select the option on this page that is best for you. Click Next.
On the Choose Download Site page, choose a download site you think might be relatively close to you. Click Next.
On the Select Packages page you select the packages to download. Click the + next to Devel to expand the development tools category. You may want to resize the window so you can see more of it at one time.
Select each package you want to download by clicking the Skip label next to it, which reveals the version number of the package to download. At a minimum, select •gcc-core: C compiler
•gcc-g++: C++ compiler
•gdb: The GNU Debugger
•make: the GNU version of the 'make' utility
Packages that are required by the packages you select are automatically selected as well.
7.Click Next to connect to the download site and download the packages you selected, and click Finish when the installation is complete.
Now add the Cygwin compiler directory to your path to enable NetBeans IDE to find the tools collection:
1.Open the Control Panel:
- On Windows XP select Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-click System.
- On Windows 7, type var in the Start menu's search box to quickly find a link to Edit the system environment variables.
2.Select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables.
3.In the System Variables panel of the Environment Variables dialog, select the Path variable and click Edit.
**4.**Add the path to the cygwin-directory\bin directory to the Path variable, and click OK. By default, cygwin-directory is C:\cygwin (for 32 bit Cygwin distribution) or C:\cygwin64 (for 64 bit Cygwin distribution). Directory names must be separated with a semicolon. Your edited path should look something like %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem;C:\cygwin\bin
5.Click OK in the Environment Variables dialog and the System Properties dialog.
6.See Verifying the Installation to verify that the tools were installed correctly for the NetBeans IDE.'
I have been trying to find a way to install the iniparser library to write configuration files for C programs in eclipse, the whole day today. But I have not been able to find anything usefull. I am using Windows 7 (64 bit).
I have tried downloading the zip file and loading it into the 'lib' folders of eclipse. But when I try to include it into the C program it gives me a error saying 'iniparser.h' not found.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me how can I do this?? I would really be thankfull..
You can include path-
Try-
Project -> properties -> C/C++General -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes tab -> Assembly
while checking 'add to all languages'.
This one did not work for me- Project -> Properties -> C/C++General -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes tab -> GCC C
I am new to C programming.
I was trying to use the pthread API to write some concurrent program.
I downloaded eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, MinGW. I have put all the library, header files into the corresponding location of the MinGW file.
When I tried to build the project, there is always an error "cannot find -lpthread", what happened?
I have added the "-pthread" to the GCC compiler.
I have searched a lot in Google but seems no one have similar problem as me.
The answer to this question by someone who is also missing MinGW pthread library should help you out! Essentially the issue is that the MinGW installer script might not download the lpthread library upon installation. Quoted from link:
Just run and open MinGW Installation Manager, which should be pre-installed with MinGW, select "All Packages" on the left panel, and on the right panel, search for "mingw32-pthreads-w32" packages and install them.
I downloaded eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, MinGW.
MingGW uses the Windows API. The Windows API does not provide PThreads.
You need to install PThreads for Win32 to have PThreads available under Windows, and with this available under MinGW.
Eclipse is not configured to put the -pthread argument in the gcc compilation. To solve this, go to the Menu:
view sourceprint?
1.Project -> Properties
From the bar on the left:
view sourceprint?
1.c/c++ build -> GCC C Compiler -> Miscellaneous
Add the “-pthread” argument into the beginning of the “Other Flags” Also go to:
view sourceprint?
1.c/c++ build -> Settings -> GCC C Linker -> Libraries
And include the “pthread”library into the other libraries. Click Apply and rebuild the project. Pthreads must work now.
See the question on mingw.org. I ended up with adding 'C:/cygwin/lib' to the settings for the "Library search path (-L)" at properties >> c/c++ build >> settings >> MinGW C Linker >> Libraries.
I installed Eclipse CDT plugin and also the following packages:
MinSys
MinGW
I have also added paths to their bin in the PATH environment variable. Even then I am unable to compile and run any sample program in Eclipse.
How can I fix this? Thanks for your concern.
I even faced this error and searched a lot to fix. Fortunately, I figured it out myself.
The following are the things you need to make sure they are set:
Window > Preferences > C/C++ > New CDT project wizard > Makefile Project > Binary Parsers
a) Set it to PE Windows Parser if you are on windows.
b) Set it to Cygwin PE Parser if you are using Cygwin
c) Set it to Elf parser if you are using ubuntu
Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Build > Environment
Now click on "select" and select "Path" variable so that you add you path variables in Eclipse.
Now its all done!
All you have to do is write a test program and press Ctrl+B (Build all; there is a button on menu bar) and after that click "Run".
After all the setup is done.Go to eclipse project --> build all or Ctrl + B then eclipse automatically build up the binaries and other stuffs now run your project
Open project properties (Right click on your project, choose Properties on the menu)
C/C++ Build -> Settings
Click on Binary Parsers tab and check PE Windows Parser
In my case
I just save the programme. Press Ctrl + B to build it.
Refresh it.
Then run the programme.
Now you can see this will work fine.
Build
Refresh the project. A new folder named Binaries will appear now in project explorer.
Now Run :)
This problem happened with me. I found the problem that the anti-Virus that I am using considered the binary file as a Trojan and disable the Eclipse from successfully build it. You need to disable the auto-Protection mode, then build the project and run.
Just happened to me and it was a bit silly.
Eclipse didn't show any errors but apparently there was one in the console window.
Double-check that everything's okay there.
Same issue, but on Mac OS on Eclipse Kepler. Fixed with the following configuration
Right click project->properties->C/C++ General->Run/Debug Settings.
I didn't see any launch configuration. So, I created new and input the following entries. Problems is the name of the application :-). Remember that this will only work for Debug project, not for Release or you will have to update the build setting again. Hope this helps.
Select FCC and CDT as your default builder for project. This could help you to solve the problem. By the way, I also encourage you to use Geany program instead. It works ok as well. It's ready to use just only install gcc through MinGW.
I managed to fix this problem by changing the default builder from CDT Internal to GNU Make, by right clicking the project → Properties → C/C++ Build → Tool Chain Editor → Current builder → GNU Make Builder.
Similar problem was faced by me. Once you are within Eclipse IDE try doing the following.
Windows -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment -> (Add environment variables) -> Click on select all) -> OK
Now, in the same dialog box
New C/C++ project -> Make file project -> Choose Respective Parser* -> Click on Apply and Apply and Close.
Choosing a parser
For Linux - Choose 'Elf Parser' or 'GNU Elf Parser'
For Windows - Choose 'PE Windows Parser'
For Mac OS - Choose 'Mach-o Parser' or 'Mach-o 64 Parser'
Try Building your program and running it. If you still find the Binary Failed Error, Do the following :
Click on Run -> Run Configuration -> C/C++ Application -> click on project_name debug -> click on browse and select your project file -> Press Ok -> below it Browse binary file ( Goto your Eclipse Workspace and select your project file -> You'll find two files 1.Debug 2.Src -> Click on Debug file -> Next click on the file with your project name and Press ok) -> then click apply and press run button.
This should solve the problem.
add third party libraries if in case you are trying to compile OPEN SANKORE project in other projects try to install third party libraries to linux
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libmng-dev libpng12-dev

I faced the same problem and tried above methods but no use and when I tried to execute in command prompt it gave me "Application not launched properly ...." error and then I tried with code block it gave me "Application not launched properly..." error. Then I downloaded MinGW from
http://www.equation.com/ It started to work
Even I have faced this similar problem and reason behind this problem is pretty simple that compiler failed to get binary file of your written code.
So where is your mistake ?
Answer is there is something wrong in your eclipse installing process. Yes you have not installed it correctly
Here is solution
First thing is no one know where is defect in installing process even you don't know about that.
and here is tutorial "How to install eclipse correctly".
How to Install Eclipse On Windows for C and C++ Correctly
Trust me after watching this you will find your mistake and binary will be found by your compiler.
Watch this whole 8 minute video, this is only solution I found after 7-8 days of hard work.
I had the same Issue of "binary not found" and I had tried all of the solutions but unfortunately nothing worked. I was trying stuff and found out that when I switched my current toolchain(right click on project click settings->c/c++ build->tool chain editor) Cross GCC to Cygwin GCC, clean all build all and guess what ? I am able to run !!
I need to add a C library to C project in Eclipse indigo.
What I've done so far.
I've downloaded and installed the library.
All headers are in folder /usr/include, library.so files are in folder /usr/lib.
After having read a tutorial I tried to do it like this:
When in Eclipse -> Project -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C Linker -> Libaries -> Add libary -> "ibxml2" ( library name is libxml2 )
But it still doesn't work.
I am a super newbie at Linux, so please could you give me some advise how to do that?
By the way one more thing. After creating a new C/C++ Project when I run an error occurs " Launch failed! Binary not found". I checked "Binary Parsers" in Project's Settings and "Elf Parser" is set ( I've read that it is OK for Linux ), so what is wrong? It is not so important, since it works when I first only build project and then run it, but maybe there is a way to solve that too?
In linker options, you should not add "libxml2", but just "xml2". All binary libraries in Linux (so files) have a "lib" prefix that is not a part of library name.
