Re: [cdt-dev] Is path to cygwin automatically added? 
Thanks for your hint!
ieb:
You might have an old version of the project file in there with some things that are not used no more. I had opened a similar bug about this and Mikhail fixed it, so you might need to run newer version of CDT.
It seems I have the newest version (3.1.2.2xxx) as Eclipse cannot find any updates.
However, when having a look at ".cdtbuild" I found out, that the project ID looks something like "HelloWorld.cdt.managedbuild.target.gnu.cygwin.exe". Is it possible, that Managed Build Project automatically use cygwin? In the New Project wizard I could not find any options to not use cygwin...
Obviously, a solution would be to provide the absolute path to the MinGW tools I want to use (e.g. for make and g++). This doesn't look like an optimal version, so I wonder if someone has another idea? 

Thanks,

Stefan

    Hi,

    I'm having Cygwin and MinGW installed on my computer. I want CDT to use
    the MinGW tools. To achieve this, I thought it's enough to make sure
    that the path to the MinGW binaries is listed before the path to the
    Cygwin binaries in Windows' PATH variable (I actually even removed the
    path to cygwin...)

    When building from the command line (using the Makefiles generated by
    Eclipse), everything is fine, i.e. the tools from MinGW ar used.
    However, when using Eclipse to build the project, it uses the cygwin
    tools.
    I could track down the problem and found out, that Eclipse added the
    path to the Cygwin libraries to the PATH variable itself. And as the
    cygwin path comes first, CDT consequently uses the cygwin tools. (I
    found that in Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Configuration
    Settings -> Environment. There, under System Variables the PATH
    variable
    is listed with the above problem.)

    To sum up, when I check the PATH variable in Windows' environment
    variables dialog and also on the command line, it does NOT contain the
    path to the cygwin binaries. However, in Eclipse the path is
    suddenly there.

    Does anybody have an idea how this can be fixed, i.e. how I can remove
    the path to cygwin from the PATH variable that is used by Eclipse?

    Thanks,

    Stefan
