Fatal Error: Unable to locate C++ compiler/linker

Hello,
I'm running the HPCC cluster using VM on my windows 8 system. I have installed ECLIDE on my machine. When i submit the ECL code in ECLIDE, it gives me following error in eclcc.log file -

Here's the compiler setting in my ECL IDE -

Compiler = C:\Program Files (x86)\HPCCSystems\4.2.0\clienttools\bin\eclcc.exe

Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thank you.

What the error means:
You are trying to compile a WU on your local machine, but you are missing the required compilers and tools.

Typically this happens if you select "Local" from the target dropdown on the builder windows. Sometimes it happens if you have some invalid settings on the preferences window.

Things to try:
1. In the builder window select a different target in the drop down (even if it does not say local). Note: If local is your only option here then its likely to be a preferences issue.
2. Double check your preferences specifically the server settings and compiler tab. If in doubt create a new preference profile and renter the server IP (leave the rest to their defaults).

You can download the PDFs separately from the website (for printing or reading on the computer), but the IDE's Testking HP0-S34 exam F1 key will only pull up topics from its help file. And for the Eclipse users, we also have these same docs in Eclipse help format.

Did you fixed it @nileshdchavan?

I have exactly the same problem...

I would only add that, if Local is your only choice then you need to close the IDE and re-open it (usually that brings back the list of target clusters that you should have).

HTH,

What compilers and tools will I need to compile this locally via cmd to create an executable on Windows? I'm getting the same errors.
