How do I set up the plug-in for Windows?

[Daryle Walker]

The manual is more of a "how I programmed this," so it doesn't really help end users.

 

I have a 32-bit Windows 8 Pro system.  I installed Eclipse, MinGW, the experimental MinGW binary for Clang 3.1 that the LLVM provides as a download, and the LLVM4Eclipse CDT plug-in.  The LLVM options show up when I make a new C++ Hello World project, but I can't go further because clang can't find the standard library.

 

For the LLVM preference pane, I have:

• LLVM Installation Folder: C:\MinGW\clang-3.1
• Include directories:
1. C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.7.2\include\c++
2. C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.7.2\include
• Libraries: stdc++
• Library search path directories: C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.7.2

Before I messed with it, the "LLVM Installation Folder" and "Include directories" entries were empty.  (Using "Restore Defaults" clears all the fields.)  When I added that first line in the include directories (which was the last change I made in the preferences) a new error about "bits/c++config.h" not being found was added.

 

On a separate note, I also installed the plug-in on another system, but LLVM didn't appear at all.  The system is using 64-bit Windows 8 Pro, with 32- and 64-bit Java and 64-bit Eclipse.  Is the plug-in only active for 32-bit Windows?
