I guess you have no toolchain (compiler etc.) installed. See the CDT help for more info.

Go to Project> Properties> C/C++ Build> Environment. You will see three fields, choose PATH. See if the folder containing make.exe is appended to the path or not. Sometimes the change to the System PATH variable (made from My Computer> Properties> Advanced System Settings...) is NOT reflected in Eclipse. This solved the problem for me, hope it helps you too!

I`m having the same issue i checked the path variable which is
C:\cygwin\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%ANDROID_SDK%\tools;%ANDROID_SDK%\platform-tools;%ANDROID_NDK%;%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd

so it starts which the folder which contains make(i checked and make.exe is in there)

but eclipse still goes "Program "make" not found in PATH"
i have tried changing the path and restarting several times but nothing seems to change

any help would be greatly appreciated

1. AVD is properly created ?
2. SDK path in the Eclipse preference ?
3. Are you using proper SDK ?

A compliler has to be separately installed and setup for the Eclipse CDT. This is totally lame. Someone has to spend all this time for something that should be done automatically in no time.

I attempted to use Eclipse CDT because I thought my other IDE would not be as good but I switched back immediately after I had lost all this time trying to figure this out.

It may be that you don't have a proper compiler installed. Do check you SDK and your AVD tools.

sbrk() is a system call function inside the C library, associated with memory allocation.

What is the target computer?
What is the operating system you're running your Eclipse on?
What is the C compiler toolchain?

Another reason is when you install cypwin, default options doen't include make package in the devel group.
I reinstalled the make package and solved the problem.

Go to project>properties>c/c++ build and select internal builder in the right window from the drop down list.
You might need to right click the binary file and select run as local c++ application if running for the first time.

Tip: Internal builder is relatively slow as compared to external builder
