I download the latest version of minGW - mingw-w64-v2.0.6.tar.gz . Then I extract in into C:\MinGW . As I saw in some articles, now I have to define the path under environment variables . In C:\MinGW now have -

enter image description here

I tried to set the variable value of path as C:\MinGW , but when I do in eclipse juno build path for some project I get - 

make all 
Cannot run program "make": Launching failed

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

EDIT:

I downloaded GCC+binutils 64-bit ,exctract to c:\mingw64 , change the path to c:\mingw64\bin and changed the build command to mingw32-make. Now when I build the project I get error - 

mingw32-make all 
mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

2nd EDIT :

finally I succeeded to run a project by chose -

Note that it must uncheck the show project type and toolchians only if they are supported on the platform otherwise it not let to chose Executable Project type . In addition the build command should be stay on "Use default build command" .

You downloaded the source package.

You need a toolchain (GCC+binutils and maybe make/gdb). Those are located here:

I recommend my (rubenvb) Personal builds. They are tidy, full-featured and up to date.

After extracting the toolchain anywhere (say, D:\), add D:\mingw64\bin or D:\mingw32\bin to PATH. Or double-click on the batch scripts I include with my latest builds and it'll be done for you.

Note that you'll need to set up Eclipse for MinGW compilation, which means using mingw32-make, not make.

Lastly, I also suggest using MinGW-w64's support channels (forum and mailing list; please subscribe before posting to mingw-w64-public) in the future. I linger there, among other generally nice and helpful people.
