Can not get Eclipse + MinGW working properly

[webbhost]

Hi guys,

Firstly this is the windows program, not linux.

I have absolutely no C++ experience but want to get started with this.. I have several years experience with site design so I wanted to expand my knowledge, but it would seem that I can't even get this program to work for me so that I can even get started? I have been looking at tutorials etc and articles and nothing has given me an answer yet.

Basically I load up MinGW, and make a project using the hello world script.

However when I try to build the code, it comes up with this in the console:


**** Build of configuration Default for project Test 4 ****


(Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)


if I press run, it says launch failed, binary not found.


Can someone please help me set this program up?

Thanks.


*Added info:

Also when looking at another article about how to set up MinGW, it says when I have restarted my comp I should be able to goto console and type gcc -version in Windows Console it comes up with gcc is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file..... But it did install because its in my start menu... I selected all of the options to install on the MinGW installer.
