Eclipse help

[CheesePoofs]

I'm trying to configure Eclipse as a C/C++ programing environment, so right now I have CDT installed along with Cygwin and MinGW (I have been trying to get both to work, unsuccessfully). Right now, I believe I have Cygwin configured correctly, except for every project I start in Eclipse, I get this error:

Error launching external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD C:/Documents and Settings/Eli/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.c)

I have tried adding the directory Cygwin's bin folder into that file as was recomended to fix this, but that doesnt' seem to work.

I have eclipse installed here: "C:\Program Files\eclipse" and Cygwin here: "C:\Program Files\cygwin"

Does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks

I did a google search for your error message and there were 8000+ results.

I googled it too, and I looked through many of the hits. They either didn't make sense to me, didnt' apply, or didnt' work.

Anyone have an idea what the fix to this problem is?
