help - (Exec error:Launching failed) [message #72746]

I am new to Eclipse CDT. I have successfully use MinGW to compile my
hello.c program but unable to do it inside Eclipse. Everything I try to
do a built I got the following message on the console.

Build Error
(Exec error:Launching failed)

I suspect it couldn't find 'gcc' but I could find anything in the
preferences or project properties to specify where 'gcc' is. May be I am
in the wrong track all together. Any help is appreciated.

Add MinGW\bin to your PATH, if you use MSYS add this to the PATH too.

If you use MSYS check, the PATH.
If you just use MinGW without MSYS, check if you have an make.exe in your
binary-path, otherwise, copy mingw32-make.exe to make.exe or, change the
default build command to mingw32-make and add the following line to your
Makefiles:

MAKE = mingw32-make

and change all occurences of make with $(MAKE)
