All following settings are in system variables only (my user variables don't include either JDK or MinGW addresses). I have a JAVA_HOME environment variable set up like this:
JAVA_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66
(this produces the same behavior as if I had written the address of jdk to the path)
When my path variable begins with %JAVA_HOME%\bin; C:\MinGW\bin; ... I get correct javac access in cmd, but neither gcc nor g++ works.
Usual error message:
'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
And when my path variable begins with C:\MinGW\bin; %JAVA_HOME%\bin; ... I get working gcc commands but now javac is unrecognized...
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
How can I solve this problem?
(I'm trying to set up an environment for Eclipse to develop to Android with cocos2d-x, I use MinGW v4.8.1, JDK 1.8 x64 and Win v8.1 x64)
My full path looks like this:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin;
C:\MinGW\bin;
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;
C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin;
C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\110\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\110\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\GtkSharp\2.12\bin;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\
Where javapath indirectly points to JRE exe's.
Edit:
jdk1.7.0_79 x64 produces the same result (I'm sticking with 1.7 from now on)
Edit:
I reinstalled mingw, nothing changed. If the jdk address precedes the mingw address, all mingw executables become unreachable, vica-versa, this is killing me :(
I tried many variations, the path to JRE must precede the path to MinGW, otherwise I can't even call "java" from cmd, however it doesn't disable MinGW's exe's like the JDK does.
So this variation for example still hides all of MinGW exe's from The Path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\bin;
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin;
C:\MinGW\bin;
etc...
