I am trying to create my first C++ exeecutable using Eclipse IDE (using Windows 7). I am getting the following error while building.

How to correct it?

ERROR:: couldn’t get context of main thread, error 998

Info: Configuration “Debug” uses tool-chain “Cygwin GCC” that is unsupported on this system, attempting to build anyway.

make all

‘Building file: ../src/LestTest.cpp’
[sig] C:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin\make.exe 1000 (0) call_handler: couldn’t get context of main thread, error 998

Bash

Path Environment variable has the following

    Make a test with “Bash” as mentioned in Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

    Make sure that the Bash result is pointing to the location mentioned in Cygwin

    Build the code – this result in a binary folder

    Run the application
