Immediate Error Message on Makefile Project Build [message #206968]

I just recently upgraded to Eclipse Europa (3.3.1.1) and CDT (4.0.2) on
Windows. Beforehand, we were using 3.2 of Eclipse and an older version
(dont recall) of CDT on Solaris.

I am doing embedded development using VxWorks 5.4 and Tornado 2.0.2. I
created a standard make project using the no tool chain option. I added
all the requisite environment variables to get our makefiles working.
However, when I attempt to build, my console displays only the following:

**** Build of configuration Default for project xxxxxx ****

(Exec error:The system cannot find the file specified)

There isnt any additional information in the Problems tab. Ive been
pulling my hair out trying to figure out what this could possibly mean. I
know my environment settings are OK since I am able to use the values in a
shell and build without a problem.

My guess is that it can't find 'make'.

Make is in the path variable. Is there any way to get additional
information on the message?

Look in the log.
workspace/.metadata/.log

After thinking that this may be an installation issue with CDT and the
Java EE version of Eclipse, I installed the preconfigured "C++ IDE"
edition and created a brand new workspace and project (using the same
settings). I am still receiving a similar error:

****Buid of configuration Default for project xxxxxxx ****
make all
fatal error in make: The system cannot find the file specified

make *** [all] Error 0x2

This is pretty similar to the old error:
**** Build of configuration Default for project xxxxxx ****

(Exec error:The system cannot find the file specified)

The primary difference is that now instead of being an "Exec" error, it is
a make error. The other odd thing is that with my new installation, the
log file under workspace/.metadata is not being created. Previously,
there were a bunch of exceptions that I though indicated a configuration
issue, which is what prompted me to get the C++ edition after
unsuccessfully trying to get the CDT master to install as a local archive.

If you run make with the -d option it should produce a detailed output
that shows what's wrong.
