Multiple makefile errrors [message #1822017]

I am a new user of Eclipse. (I have been using Builder from Embarcadero.) I thought I installed Eclipse successfully, but when I try to create the HelloWorld project, it fails to build. I get the following message pasted below. For what it's worth, I'm following the directions in
https://www.codeguru.com/cpp/cpp/getting-started-with-c-for-eclipse.html
which are consistent with the directions in the "Creating a Simple Project" in Eclipse - Help but are more detailed and complete and include directions for installing MinGW.

What's going on? What have I omitted? What am I doing wrong? All help will be appreciated.

It's best to ask on the CDT forum:

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/80/

Keep in mind that if no one can see what's in your makefile, then no one is likely to be able to tell you wants wrong with it. You may wish to attach it.

It seems that you're not using the MinGW Make. Probably you forgot to set up the MinGW PATH correctly.

I found the makefile, which was generated automatically. Since it's short, I'll paste it below. Do you see what's wrong with it? Thanks.

I installed MinGW, and as far as I can tell I set up Eclipse to use MinGW for building. But there may be a path that I have not set correctly. Can you tell me where to look? Thanks in advance.

So it does seem that your Eclipse doesn't use the MinGW make but the make executable from Embarcadero, and that apparently isn't happy with the make file. Remove the Embarcadero make from your $PATH.

Most likely an encoding error.
I have two make files that only differ in the file name.
One worked and one had errors on line 6, 11, and all following lines.
The one that worked was encoded with Unix style end of line
and the one that did not was DOS (windows) style end of line.
Well that was not the problem. I converted the DOS to Unix style EOLs and still get the same error.
So I copied the working make file to this and ran it with out any modifications, and got the same errors. I have looked through all the project properties and can not find any differences. Also the run configurations appear to be the same( except for the file name).

If I go to a terminal(cygwind) and "make all" it works just fine. the exe file also works.

Any hints accepted with favor.
Cliff

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft products.
