The program can’t start because cygwin1.dll is missing… in Eclipse CDT

This error message means that Windows isn’t able to find “cygwin1.dll”. The Programs that the Cygwin gcc create depend on this DLL. The file is part of cygwin , so most likely it’s located in C:\cygwin\bin. To fix the problem all you have to do is add C:\cygwin\bin (or the location where cygwin1.dll can be found) to your system path. Alternatively you can copy cygwin1.dll into your Windows directory.

There is a nice tool called DependencyWalker that you can download from http://www.dependencywalker.com . You can use it to check dependencies of executables, so if you inspect your generated program it tells you which dependencies are missing and which are resolved.
