RE: [cdt-dev] Project perspective lists MINGW includes for/inC++Makefile

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an MSVC integration in the works. I'll make it available in CDT
5.0 and will be included in Wascana (http://wascana.sourceforge.net) in
the summer.

Thanks Oleg :-) .

I've got one more question. Is it possible to register the MSVC compiler
as a toolchain in eclipse? ... The plugin I'm developing requires the MS
C compiler (I've heard that the gcc can produce cross platform code but
I don't know how to use gcc that well).

Hi Olumide.

It's common trouble, a result of unclear naming.  

To get rid of Mingw includes, go to Project Properties -> C / C++
general -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes tab, and delete unwanted
includes for each language (Asm, C, C++).

In fact, "other toolchain", also known as "default toolchain", does not
mean "user's own toolchain". In fact, it's automatically detected
toolchain, referring to either Cygwin or Mingw, if one of them installed
(I mean, on Windows. On Linux, standard C/C++ compiler is used by this
toolchain). 

It was introduced as default choice, for the user who needs "any C
compiler". Unfortunately, toolchain label is too short to explain all
told above. There was a discussion, how to call it:
"No toolchain", "Default toolchain", "Other ...", "Detected ...".
As a result, "Other toolchain" was selected as the lesser evil.
