C/C++ Build Settings in Eclipse

Question

I admit this is the first time I am using Eclipse for C/C++. I thought I would get a similar dialog like this by going project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings.

But I get this.

Can someone tell me what is going on?

Answer 1

This can also happen if you create a project using File > New > Makefile Project with Existing Code .

To resolve it, right-click on the project, select Properties , navigate to C/C++ Build , and check Generate Makefiles automatically

Answer 2

UPDATE: This was caused by having multiple set of C++ compilers in system paths. By resolving the system path, I solved the problem above. Hope this helps others.
