Hello:
I have followed the instructions given in CDT User FAQ to create a Hello
World Project. I am getting an error when I issue build command. The
error text is as follows:

make -f makefile
!CBuilder.build_error!
(CreateProcess: make -f makefile error=2)

I installed MinGW at C:\MinGW and changed the makefile accordingly.
Also, I have added the C:\MinGW\bin directory to the PATH environment
variable. Is CDT running make command that ships with MinGW? If so, I
dont see the make.exe in C:\MinGW\bin directory? Could that be the
problem?

The makefile is as follows:

objects = hello.o

hello : $(objects)
gcc -o hello $(objects) -L C:/MinGW/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2/
-lstdc++

$(objects) : hello.cpp
gcc -c hello.cpp

all :
${MAKE} hello

..PHONY : clean
clean :
-del hello.exe $(objects)

Thanks in advance.
Anil

CDT will launch that make.exe which could find in the PATH. So if you
insert C:\MinGW\bin in PATH and there is no make.exe CDT will post such a
diagnostic

make -f makefile
!CBuilder.build_error!
(CreateProcess: make -f makefile error=2)

You should get make.exe and then everything launch properly.

Hope it helps,

I've tried with this one found in MinGW:

mingw32-make.exe

but then I got this error:

makefile:4: *** missing separator. Stop.

Do I need something different? I'm really newby in C/C++ and I'm
just setting up the tools to start learning.

Make sure the indented lines in your makefile are indented with a tab character,
rather than spaces.
