Problem with new eclipse c/c++ on Windows 11. PATH not set properly.

[pblase]

I am trying to install Eclipse for Microchip ARM processors on a PC. Install goes ok, and I have the latest GNU tools installed (I think). But the PATH variable wasn't set properly and it can't seem to find the compilers. I just have the "Hello Windows" code in there right now and I get
Description Resource Path Location Type Program "arm-none-eabi-g++" not found in PATH program_V3 Project Properties, C++ Preprocessor Include.../Providers, [CDT Arm Cross GCC Built-in Compiler Settings] options C/C++ Scanner Discovery Problem
When I look at the environment variables, PATH isn't listed.

Something didn't get set right.

Hi, pblase
You may need to check the installation of arm-none-eabi. In the powershell, run Get-Command arm-none-eabi-gcc to see if you get an output similar to the following:

Not setitng a Path variable in the project does not seem to have an impact. However, if you have not added arm-none-eabi-gcc to your System Path, you will encounter errors in Eclipse Embedded.

After Installing arm-none-eabi-gcc

Add xxxxx/arm-none-eabi/bin/ (your toolchain path) to the System Path environment variable.

On Windows, set arm-none-eabi in the environment variables and run Get-Command arm-none-eabi-gcc.

You should be able to see the output in PowerShell.

Then, restart Eclipse and rebuild the project. The error should disappear.

Others

If you do not want to use the arm-none-eabi from your system environment (the one in Path), you may manually specify the arm-none-eabi path here.
You can also set the toolchain path for the project, workspace, or the entire Eclipse environment here.

The above process worked for me. If you have any better suggestion, I’d be happy to discuss it with you.
