configure MinGW with Eclipse CDT

Question

I have searched a lot about this and read most of the available answers for similar problem but I still couldn't solve it. Therefore, any help will be helpful.

I am using Eclipse Mars(Latest version after Luna) on Windows 7

MinGW is installed in "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CodeBlocks\\MinGW\\bin".

Environment variable "Path" contains "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CodeBlocks\\MinGW\\bin;..."
Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Settings -> Discovery->CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings : command to get compiler specs
${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"
manually doing gcc -E -P -v -dD in cmd from any directory gives
.
.
Target: mingw32 .
.

Errors:

Program g++/gcc not found in PATH

I make a C++ project, add a file with hello world program in it.

I get errors "unresolved inclusion " and 'printf' could not be resolved.

comment if any other details required

It sounds like you're doing everything correctly.

TWO SUGGESTIONS:

1. Take a look at this link, and see if you missed anything regarding the MinGW/GCC install:

2. Otherwise, consider deleting (or simply renaming) your current Eclipse and installing the CDT (Eclipse for C/C++ Developers) version instead:

3. For whatever it's worth, here are a couple of screenshots from my property settings (I'm able to create and successfully build a new C project):

I think your problem is simply because of MinGW path include white spaces in it. just reinstalling MinGW on Root directory "c:\\MinGW"will solve your problem. install MinGW with basic setup packages select "mingw-developer-toolkit, mingw32-base, mingw32-gcc-g++, msys-base". complete installation. restart your pc. then check your eclipse settings. I hope your problem is already solved.
