Does anyone know how to fix this? I was creating a new Eclipse project for some old code with a working Makefile when all the build commands in Eclipse just stopped working.
First, I created a new Makefile project, created some build targets, and that was working fine. Then, I created a debug configuration for one target, and that was working fine, too. Then, for some unknown reason, all the Eclipse build commands stopped working.
Now, when I try to build any target or build all, nothing happens. The console tab shows no output whatsoever. Clean still works, but then I'm completely stuck because I can't rebuild any targets.
GNU make still works as expected. And, if I rebuild a target that way, I can debug it with Eclipse. But I still can't build anything with Eclipse.
So confused.

Thank you for your help. I'm sorry but I had to give up on using Eclipse this way, and I deleted the project that was having this problem. As I said, I've had this recur every time I've tried to build a project for this code. But, naturally, I couldn't reproduce it this time.
In the new project, a target called 'pwd' produces this output:
make pwd
make: *** No rule to make target `pwd'. Stop.
This makes sense to me and I don't think it should print the working directory.
But, before, when this problem is occurring, there is no output in the console tab at all. I've tried creating new targets when this happens and they don't work, either.
I will not delete this project, this time, and see if the problem recurs later.
I do have a copy of the old .cproject and .project files, though. Comparing them to the new ones shows many differences. But, it looks like there are multiple instances of the some variables in different places in both versions, so it's not easy to tell what is different, exactly. Maybe when it recurs, I'll be able to see what changed in the .cproject file, this time.

I have a similar problem on my Linux development environment, using Eclipse 3.7.0 with CDT 8.0.0.201106081058.
make is set up properly in /usr/bin/make and this is contained in my $PATH.
Calling make from the command line works fine.
In my Eclipse C++ project, the C++ Build settings may be set either to "Use default build command"
(which is make), or explicitely to "make ".
In both cases, triggering a build just shows
**** Build of configuration Default for project test_genstruct ****
make all
**** Build Finished ****
Even worse, sometimes the build works, other times not. I have no clue why.
A solution is to set the build command explicitely to "/usr/bin/make".
But why doesn't Eclipse execute the "make"?
