Description Sander Jobing CLA 2013-02-07 16:24:57 EST 
I downloaded and installed Eclipse C++, Juno release. Installed CDT and C++ using Help->Install New Software using the repository http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno.

Even the simplest C++ programs do not compile. For example, 
File->New->C++ Project->Hello World C++ Project

Error message:

Program "g++" not found in PATH
Comment 1 Andrew Gvozdev CLA 2013-02-08 17:40:55 EST 
That is correct behavior. You need to install C/C++ toolchain, just as you need to install Java to run eclipse. Refer to http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_c_before_you_begin.htm
If you have questions ask user forum at Eclipse Community Forums http://www.eclipse.org/forums/ - Language IDEs - CDT.
