Always the error Program "make" is not found in PATH [message #753359]

Hi I unzipped this eclipse and before that I had installed MinGW.
Well I created an empty project and tried compiling the project, it throw me the error:
Program "make" is not found in PATH. I made sure that my environment variables are set to the path: C:\MinGW\bin.

But when i create an "Hello world" project it works fine for me.
But its absurd for me that everytime i have to create an Hello word project, delete the stuff and replace with me program.

Does anyone has how to overcome this??

Before, i was using vc++ and that seems very friendly, but eclipse seems a headache though its a freeware
- please help me.

Perhaps this is because "Hello world" is not using make.
In fact, c:\mingw\bin does not have make.exe. It is located in c:\mingw\msys\1.0\bin.
So, you may try to add this path to your PATH variable too.
