Since the season is over and school has ended, we are starting to look into reviving all our old robots with the cRIO controllers. We are very happy to find your tool chain for Eclipse. Thank you very much.
In season 2015, we switched from C++ to Java but we did follow the instructions to install Eclipse with C++ so that the environment can handle both Java and C++. Now it's the real test if that works.
We followed your instructions installing the tools chain, configuration the team number and all that. We created a new C++ project. Drag our Rebound Rumble code to the src folder within Eclipse. Everything seems working smoothly. However, when it comes to time for compiling the project, it gave us some trouble. It looks like Eclipse doesn't know where to find the gcc compiler:
Code:

I found the gcc compiler. It's in C:\Program Files (x86)\FRC_Toolchain\mingw\bin. So how to I tell Eclipse where to find it? I went through the maze of Eclipse Preferences and can't seem to find any tool path that I can configure.
Also, the code currently has lots of red X's. It seems the #include WPILib.h line couldn't be resolved. I must have missed a step to "import wpilib". I thought it's part of the tool chain install but may be not. Please advise how to fix this.
Thank you very much for putting this out.
