I'm using eclipse 2.1 and cdt 1.0.1 on a WindowsXP system with
MinGW-2.0.0-3 installed, and my makefile looks like (I've the build
settings setup up to use it):

objects = hello.o
hello : $(objects)
gcc -o hello $(objects) -L C:/MinGW/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2/ -lstdc++
$(objects) : hello.cpp
gcc -c hello.cpp
all :
${MAKE} hello
PHONY : clean
clean :
-del hello.exe $(objects)

But I get the following error:

Build Error
(Exec error:Launching failed)

Sorry, my bad. I got it all figured out: it turns out that make is not in
the same directory that gcc is in, so I just had to append to my path
variable (gcc is in C:\\MinGW\\bin, while make is in the
C:\\msys\\1.0\\bin)

the 'make' program is indeed included in the MinGW binary directory but
its called mingw32-make.exe. You should _copy_ it to the same dir but
name it make.exe!

^^^^ Shouldnt that be hello.exe??

> gcc -o hello $(objects) -L C:/MinGW/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2/ -lstdc++
^^^^^ Replace that with $@

^^^^^ the . infront missing! should be .PHONY
put this above your rules and add the all and debug rule like
.PHONY: all debug clean

Ahhhhh..., thank you very much then. (What's the diff anyway?)
