I am using 64-bit Windows 7 PC and I want to develop C/C++ programs using Eclipse IDE.

I have tried DOSBox but it was not working for me. Also, I din't liked it as well.

I just want to use Eclipse for the same. I tried using CDT Plugin in Eclipse but that doesn't worked.

When I create a new C++ project, there are different Tool Chains available - Cross GCC, Microsoft Visual C++, MinGW GCC. I really don't know what exactly it is. I tried all but I am getting error and snapshot attached :-

Basically, it is not able to detect what iostream, stdio, cout is.

enter image description here

I tried different solutions available on other posts but none worked for me.

I don't know what to do with it. I know I am having problem due to 64-bit Windows but I want to fix this now. Please help!

  • Did you install MinGW or Visual Studio? You'll need those as those include the compiler and the standard libraries, which should explain why it's giving you those errors – Alex Nov 06 '14 at 19:29

You need to install MinGW, and then select the MinGW toolchain when selecting a new project.

Well I tried different tool chains on Eclipse IDE, but nothing worked. Then I installed CodeBlocks IDE and plugins for the same as well.

Sic: Now, I am running C/C++ codes on Code Blocks perfectly.

You need to download MinGW and install the C++ compiler, don't forget to add the MinGW bin to the system variables under "path".

I recommend you using Visual Studio Code. If you do install Visual Studio Code, make sure to install Code Runner plugin to make running C++ projects easier.
