Howdy, Our projects are a mixture of cpp and java and I'd love to use maven just like I have in the past for purely java project.
Consequently, Im trying to use the maven-native plugin but I am struggling! So any help would be great! First up I've installed cygwin and the gcc compiler. My goal is to produce an .exe. I have created my maven project as follows: *./pom.xml* <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>debug</groupId> <artifactId>helloworld-cpp</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>helloworld-cpp</name> <packaging>exe</packaging> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>native-maven-plugin</artifactId> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <sources> <source> <directory>./src/main/cpp</directory> <includes> <include>*.cpp</include> </includes> </source> </sources> <compilerProvider>generic-classic</compilerProvider> <compilerExecutable>gcc</compilerExecutable> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> *./src/main/cpp/HelloWorld.cpp* #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello world" << endl; } Thats it! When I try and build the project I get the following error... which unfortunately means nothing to me. $ mvn install [INFO] Scanning for projects...
