to get eclipse working with cgywin. Is there someone out there who could
write up a brief HOWTO on getting eclipse setup on the windows platform
using cgywin? Besides helping me, this might encourage others to work
with eclipse who otherwise don't have a linux box sitting nearby.

1) It appears that none of the development tool are installed by default,

2) After installing cygwin make sure you include the /bin directory into
your path, and be sure to spell it correctly rather than my mistake of
cgywin.
3) Run eclipse and create a new C++ project. Be sure to change "Build
Invocation" to "make all" and "make clean".
4) Name the project hello
5) Context menu from the project and create a new file "main.cpp"
6) Go into the editor and type the following
-------------------------------
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
cout << "Eclipse says hello." << endl;
return 0;
}
-------------------------------
7) Click on Project->Rebuild All
8) Output says
> make all
make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop
I cannot find a make file and that may be the problem, but I was under the
impression that eclipse was suppose to help with that detail. My
background is using MSVC so my experience in command line compiling is
using tarballs with "make all" "make install" and tweaking a bit of code
and recompiling on Linux.

I think you need the following steps from the autoconf menu.
6a.Generate Autoconf
6b.Run configure
I don't have a version handy so this is from memory. Its what I do on linux.

I have now found this information in the tutorial after seeing your post.
In my first attempt I found that libtool needed to be installed cygwin
also.
Now I think I'm on the right track now except for one item. The command
line has
sh autogen.sh&&sh touch -m configure
touch: Can't open touch: No such file or directory
Now if I type "touch -m configure" all is good in the world, but I just
can't get it to except it through sh. Any ideas on that one?
To summarize for people learning from my mistakes. I didn't know what
items I needed from cgywin and I hadn't read about how to generate the
autoconf. Read the documentation, ALL the documentation.

Ahh, I guess I never had any problems under cygwin since I installed
everything I could ;-) So you're right, we should probably document
somewhere what dependencies we have on system tools.
That "touch" problem would seem to be due to an incorrect PATH. What
happens if you goto the Command Launcher view and type "env" (or
"set"...whichever works). Does your /bin directory, where I assume "touch"
exists, appear in the PATH variable? If it does then does it also appear
when you try "sh env"?
Note: I don't have Windoze booted up right now, so I can't verify that the
autoconf stuff is working for me. If I get some time later today, I'll boot
it up and give it a try.
Thanks...

Hi,
So I tried autoconf on Windows and I too am seeing some problems:
I started with a simple Hello World type project with one "main.cpp", and
went through the normal autoconf steps.
1. "Generate configure" is working for me, but "Run configure" kicks off the
following:
"sh autogen.sh;sh configure && sh touch -m configure"
On my system, sh thinks that "autogen.sh;sh" is the command I want to run.
It works if I goto the Command Launcher and type:
sh autogen.sh && sh configure && sh touch -m configure
2. The Makefile that was created had a syntax error, but when I ran
configure again it went away (and I can't reproduce
the syntax error anymore).
3. My project builds and creates an executable, but it doesn't run...it
says it is not a valid windows executable.
Are there any volunteers out there who want to delve into our code and get
this stuff working on Windows? We are focused on getting the CDT stable on
Linux and can't commit to doing this work ourselves. However, we would be
willing to incorporate any enhancements we receive from the community.
Thanks...

Try using "sh -c touch whatever" instead of just "sh touch whatever".
That should do the trick.

executing anything other than a shell script?

You are right that it should work out of the box, and if this is indeed
an Eclipse problem (which it might very well be), it should be fixed in
Eclipse, not by some workaround.

I did some investigation regarding CDT setup on cygwin and here is what I
found:
For now, there are 4 problems with autoconf and cygwin:
1. There is a problem executing multiple commands on Windows separated by
semi-colons. This affects the "Generate Configure" action. Currently
this action tries to execute -> "sh autogen.sh;sh configure && sh touch -m
configure", and fails due to the semi-colon. For now you can goto the
Command Launcher view and explicitly type "sh autogen.sh && sh configure
&& sh touch -m configure". This fix will be in the next driver.
2. There is a problem executing the touch command. You can ignore this
error for now, while making sure you do the following:
When you execute the "Run Configure" action, the tool will prompt you with
a message saying that configure is not up to date. Just ignore it and
click "No" to skip the update part as it is up to date already.
This fix (which involves adding quotes around the string that sh is to
execute) will also be in the next driver.
3. Another problem I have encountered is with libtool on cygwin. Make
sure that you have the latest libtool package. I downloaded the one that
comes with the latest cygwin release version 1.3.9 and it worked for me.
4. There seems to be a problem with the way automake is reading the
Makefile.am file on Windows. It is not respecting line continuation as in
the following:
mytarget_SOURCES = \
source1.cpp \
source2.cpp and so on
This causes the generated Makefile(s) to contain errors. The work-around
is edit your Makefile.am file and remove any line continuation putting all
file names on one line (separated by spaces), and then re-generate your
autoconf files. This problem will be investigated further.
