Hi,
I'm trying to rebuild a project with "Rebuild all" and it gives me the
error:
Error launching builder (make -k clean all)
(Exec error: Launching failed)
I have Eclipse 3.0M6 with CDT 2.0M6.
I've tried "make -k clean all" from the command line and it works.
I've traced with Filemon (from Sysinternals) to see where is Eclipse looking
for make.exe and it's only looking at paths:
C:\Java\Eclipse -
3.0M6\plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32_2.0.0\os\win32\x86\ make.exe
C:\Java\Eclipse - 3.0M6\workspace\HelloWorld\make.exe
C:\Windows\system32\make.exe
C:\Windows\system\make.exe
C:\Windows\make.exe
and not in my environment variable PATH where the Cygwin\bin path is
included.
I've also tried it at work and is working. The only difference is at work I
have Windows 2000 Professional and at home I have Windows 2003.
I've traced the Windows 2000 Professional machine with Filemon also and
Eclipse is looking for make.exe in all my environment variable PATH not only
the above directories.
Has anyone any idea what to try or look for?
Thanks very much, Juan.

Well, I can't tell you about how Windows 2003 handles PATH settings, as
I only have Windows 2000. But from your filemon output I would read,
that your PATH does _not_ contain the cygwin\bin path. I remember that
in Win2000 I had once set PATH in the User Settings (top of the
environment variables dialog), not in the System-wide settings (bottom
of the environment variables dialog). When I added the PATH to the user
settings, the compiler paths were not added. But for Windows 2003, you
should check the docs if, maybe, there are certain things blocking a
user from changing the environment.
Btw.,usually, the problem is that users change the PATH settings, but
don't restart the filemanagers and shells. Then, they wonder that the
program depending on environment settings, never get the updated
environment variable that they just had changed.
