 Hi Ulf Arne Bister,

                             I have to build simple c++ project.Do I have to create makefile of that c++ project,or I have to create simple makefile project.I am using p2 repository and CDT with java luna eclipse.Is there need of using c++ eclipse instead of CDT.
Thanks in advance.

Jyoti,
generally to build a c++ project you need to <make> and then to <compile> the source code. Eclipse as the editor will allow you to tie in make tools such as cmake and compiler such as gcc (which on windows requires e.g. mingw in addition). All this is well outside the scope of RTC which is language agnostic.
You might want to use http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/cpp/getting-started-with-c-for-eclipse.html or similar as a primer.

Jyoti,
you have to make sure that the make executable (as well as compiler) are installed and in the system path where the build engine is running. Does making and compiling work manually on the build machine (e.g. outside of Eclipse or from Eclipse)? Do your PATH environment variables contain the path to the executables? Which make / cc are you using and what OS does your build machine have?

  Hi Ulf Arne Bister,

                              I have installed CDT in luna eclipse and mingw. I am using windows10. I have set the environment variable as-C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;.
          yes making and compiling work manualy on eclipse machine.
