Im totally new to this environment and trying to integrate CMake with eclipse so as the first step installed CMake plugins from the market place and its showing "CMake project" in the new project wizard and the project contains .cpp file and CMakeLists.txt but when i try to build that project its showing "Build not configured correctly" and "No tool chain found for build target" Should i miss something to configure ? which toolchain i need to use to build a basic cmake project ? Is there any documentation available to build a basic cmake project with eclipse ?
We are pretty light on documentation... :-/ Do you have a toolchain installed? It requires you have a toolchain available and ready to use. On Fedora you can probably "sudo dnf install cmake gcc gcc-g++ binutils" and whatever other tools you need On Ubuntu you can probably "sudo apt install build-essential cmake" On Windows, I guess you need to install mingw and cmake manually, I'm not really a Windows guy. Once you have a toolchain available on your PATH then IIRC selecting the project and hitting Ctrl+B to build should just work, with no other configuration in Eclipse required.
I have installed CMake and MinGW and where should I add the toolchain path? newly created project settings? or environment variable path?

For me just having the tools on my PATH environment variable was enough. If you can invoke gcc, cmake, etc from the command line it should be fine.

I have GCC and CMake on PATH environment variable and am able to invoke both from the command line and its working and I tried creating a new CMake project and building the project but the console shows "No Toolchain found for Target local".
Hmm maybe some auto-detection does not work if you install your toolchain *after* Eclipse. Check the toolchain preferences under Preferences --> C/C++ --> Core Build Toolchains
