Freshly installed the latest CDT plug-in today. Idea was to take
existing C files with their own makefiles into Eclipse. Existing
environment was VIM, cygwin (bash/make/gcc/...).
Took me 2 minutes to create a Standard Make C Project and get the
relevant files into the project. Specified arguments to make as "-f
application.mak" in Build (Incremental Build) and Rebuild (Full Build)
entries of Project->Properties->C/C++ Make Project. All good so far.
Problem! Build->Build Project fails. Spent rest of day looking at this
so any help most appreciated.
Console output shows:
"make -f application.mak"
<some output from one of my makefiles>
"make: mkdir: Command not found"
"make: *** [...] Error 127"
Trying to clean using Eclipse also results in a problem "rm" not found.
There isn't very much assistance from Eclipse or CDT in tracking down
the source of this problem. As mentioned at the top, launching bash,
cd-ing to the appropriate directory and entering "make -f
application.mak" works fine. All of the utilities I need are accessible
in my system PATH. Do I need to specify them in Eclipse too? (Can't find
anywhere to do so..)
Any help greatly appreciated.

I've also tried to use a Managed C Make project with the same type of error.
Hrmph!

What happens when you run make from a cmd prompt (in the directory with
application.mak)? This is what the CDT is doing. When you run bash you
have a different environment than eclipse, so success in bash is unlikely to
translate into success in CDT.

Ok. A colleague of mine helped me solve this problem. For anyone else
who suffers this problem here was my cause:
There is a difference between double-clicking on eclipse.exe in Windows
and launching it from a DOS-box or equivalent. The former doesn't have
the same environment as the latter. The latter works fine for me.
