Tutorial

This tutorial guides you through the process of using the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) to create a HelloWorld project on a Windows platform.

Before you begin

You must install and configure the following utilities:

Tip: Cygwin contains these utilities for a Windows environment. For more information, see http://www.cygwin.com.

To test if cygwin was installed correctly open a command prompt and type g++ or make.

The following error message means that no make is installed or your path is not configured correctly.

'g++' (or 'make') is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

To check your path at a command prompt and enter PATH. Make sure that the path to your build utility is defined (example PATH=c:\cygwin\bin).
