Forget all the tutorials for installing and configuring eclipse with mingw or cygwin – just download the Wascana Eclipse C/C++ IDE for Windows Developers
You will be surprised!

Wascana is a ready-to-use-eclipse-ide (Helios) with mingw toolchain installed and configured! OUT OF THE BOX! You don’t have to install anything else (neither mingw nor cygwin)!
