I have a problem. Many have the same question but I didn't find the answer.
I installed gcc-4.9.0 on my PC but Eclipse won't find it. I used the default installation path:
C:\MinGW
989
Open Project Properties and go to the Tool Chain Editor under the C/C++ Build section. Select Cross GCC in the Current Toolchain selection box. Select the Settings section right above Tool Chain Editor under C/C++ Build. On the Tool Settings tab, select the Cross Settings item at the very top.
In the Windows search bar, type 'settings' to open your Windows Settings. Search for Edit environment variables for your account. Choose the Path variable in your User variables and then select Edit. Select New and add the Mingw-w64 destination folder path to the system path.
Log in to your regular user account. Download this MinGW folder and run it. Your browser may warn that "This file is not commonly downloaded and may harm your computer" , but run it anyway.

This steps helped me when I faced the same problem:
First add the MinGW directory to your path system environment variable as in this link:

After this when you want to create a project uncheck "Show project types and toolchains only if they are supported on the platorm" option. Choose MinGW GCC
Create your code but first build it with CTRL+B, after this mine worked perfectly.
I wish it will be helpful for other people who see this
