[Solved]-Eclipse error 'g++/gcc' not found in path-eclipse

so finally i found a solution. i got the hint from here configure eclipse cdt to use g++

the important bit was the comment that g++ is a symbolic link. everything was set up ok, but when i executed g++ or gcc from the windows command prompt, i got the error "access denied" while it worked from within cygwin.

after reading the bit about it being a symbolic link, it was clear what the problam was, because windows can not cope with it. so what i did now, i reversed the symbolic links such that gcc and g++ is the real exe and the links of g++-3 and so on are pointing now to the exe, instead of the other way around.

i had to restart eclipse using the -clean option, then restarted it normaly and the error is history. :d
