The CDT looks for Cygwin in the registry. But Cygwin 1.7 doesn't use the registry anymore. It works if you upgrade from 1.5 to 1.7 but not if you install 1.7 from a clean Windows or in another location. Here is a blog post about what registry key to modify/create. http://dreamlayers.blogspot.com/2010/01/eclipse-incompatibility-with-cyg win-17.html --------------------------- For posterity, here's the list of keys from the relevant Eclipse bug at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=303900 : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/] "native"="C:\\cygwin" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/etc] "native"="C:\\cygwin\\etc" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin] "native"="C:\\cygwin\\bin" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygnus Solutions] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/] "native"="C:\\cygwin" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/etc] "native"="C:\\cygwin\\etc" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin] "native"="C:\\cygwin\\bin" According to that bug, it'll be fixed in CDT 7.0, available in June. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
