Brand new install of eclipse on Solaris 9. Eclipse 2.1.1, cdt 1.2.

I'm trying a simple HelloWorld project using Managed make.
When I build I get the referenced error.

I used managed make because I assumed it would write a correct make file.

Suggestions?

Jim,
A little more information would be helpful, but I'm pretty sure from the
error that you are not using Gnu make. The generated makefile that the
managed builder produces relies on some Gnu extensions to 'make' that
are not supported by the vanilla make that ships on Solaris by default.

Right on. There was indeed a make in the path before /usr/local/bin
Many thanks. I would have never thought of that.

Glad to help. In the CDT 2.0, the generated makefiles will be more
generic so people won't get tripped up by these sorts of problems.
