I don't know if this should matter, but did you install MinGW, Eclipse, CDT, and then my plugin in that order?
Ok... I restarted after discovering a mysterious error which wouldn't let me open Firefox (something about "A previous installation must complete before this program may be run." Never seen it before, other than installers.)

Anyways, I was able to completely build (with no errors) our source code from this year.

If anyone would like to do some testing for me, there are two ways to get the installer (it's a 111MB download, be advised)
  1. Download it using a BitTorrent client (I prefer Azureus) by opening up the torrent file at http://traherom.homeunix.net:6969/to...02FA 7B8E35A7. If you download it this way please leave your BitTorrent client open so others can benefit from it!
  2. If that BitTorrent is giving you problems, you can download it directly from me at http://traherom.homeunix.net/setup.exe. The BitTorrent will probably be faster, as my max upload speed is only 50 k/b (usually more like 30 ).

Other miscellaneous notes:
  • To use it, you must install/have installed the MCC18 compiler.
  • I still can't get a normal C++ project to build. ("Exec error: launching failed") If anyone doesn't have the problem, solves the problem, or even just has an idea of what the problem is... could you tell?
  • The thing seems "finicky," as stated by prograid. Not sure why.
  • It required a restart (of the comp, not just Eclipse) for it to get to work for me. Try that. Don't know why, may have been some weird memory corruption thing my laptop does. It has issues.
  • You must still do the steps prograid gives to create a new project. Just start after the installation is complete. I may add a readme of how to make a new project into the installer later.
  • I think the license has a misspelling. Oh well. It just tells you that if you shoot yourself in the foot, it's your fault.

Sorry it the server was done there for a bit. My router has been really flakey lately.
