I am trying to use Eclipse to develop C/C++ for ARM on PC. I have installed the GNU ARM compiler to C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\8 2019-q3-update\bin. I am attempting to make a simple hello world program by following the prompts in File->New .... When finished I get the error 'Program "make" not found in PATH'. I have done a search and there is no make.exe on my machine. Where can I get make and where should it go?

Thanks

Here is the response I posted into 'Newcomers' section:

I assume that you're running on a Windows system.
You are missing the UNIX-style program development utilities.

Please open the Eclipse CDT Help and follow the 'Before you begin' instructions.

That solved it. Thank you. Here is step by step for anyone else needing it.

1) Launch eclipse.
2) Go to Help->Help Contents menu item. A new window will open.
3) In the Search box on the upper left enter the text "Before you begin" without the quotes.
4) Follow those instructions.

Thanks
