Eclipse CDT MinGW path variables

Question

My Eclipse didn't show any console outputs. I tested the ".exe" in the debug file of my C++ project, with wich i received an error that "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" was missing. I read abit on this and i found that i could simply copy/paste that file from my c:/MinGW/bin folder to the ".exe" in the "/debug" folder of my project. That helped me with that error but i then received the message that "libstdc++-6.dll" was missing, so i did the same again.

Now The ".exe" works fine and I get an output in my eclipse.

But now i'm afraid that i will get simillar erro's at my next build if i use some what more complex programming. I also think that it would be very timeconsuming if i have to add those files too all of my future projects.

Question: So my question now isn't there a way to tell eclpise that those .dll files are at "c:/MinGW/bin"?

PS. I suspect that a similar question already exists but I wouldn't have a clue on what tags I'd have to search for.

Speacial thanks to @Deniz !

• right click on "my computer" => properties .
• on the right select "Advanced system settings".
• open "Enviormentvariables"
• search for "path"
• select Edit
• you'll have a list of paths, hit "end" on your keyboard to make sure you are at the end of this list.
• then add ";" to close the previous path and add the path to your MinGW/bin location. (by default C:\MinGW\bin).

result in adding ";C:\MinGW\bin"
