I would like to build a C project under MSWindows using Eclipse.
I installed Cygwin and put the directory "D:\Cygwin\bin" in the "path"
environment variable.
I'm trying to build a project, but I get the message:
Error launching builder (make -k clean all )
(Exec error:The directory name is invalid.
)
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I don't even know to what
directory the message refers...
Can you tell me what are the correct steps to get Eclipse to compile and
debug C programs using Cygwin?
Help me, please...

Carlos,
This comment is NOT directed to you in particular, but to everyone who
posts these types of questions on the newsgroup. It would be a lot
easier for the very busy CDT developers or other experienced users to
help you if you'd include more information, like:
1. A dump of your environment variables and OS version,
2. What kind of project you created (managed or standard),
3. What settings you've changed,
4. And any other bit of info you think might help (like in this case,
since there is a build problem with a standard project, the makefile you
are using, and since the problem seems to be related to a path, the
location of your workspace ....)
It looks like the builder is launching make in the project's working
directory. The good news is, it can find make so the PATH is likely OK.
Unfortunately, the launcher thinks it is an invalid directory. I cannot
tell you why, though. Is there a makefile there? Does the project live
in a directory with spaces? Can you think of any reason why the
directory might be considered invalid ....
With more info, I might be able to narrow down the problem some more.

Thanks, and sorry for the vague description that I gave. I'll try to give
more information if I ever need help again.
A note to the developers: It would help if the error messages were a
little less vague. In this case it would be easier to understand why the
error ocurred if the message included the reason why the directory name
was invalid.
Sometimes things that seem obvious to the people who develop software are
not to the people who will use it.
Thanks again, Sean.

Point taken on the error messages, Carlos. As the CDT matures, we will
certainly be putting more focus on usability issues such as better user
feedback.
