When running make file from within C-Build in the CDT plug-in for
Eclipse (on Win98) it doesn't appear to pay attention to the defined DOS
Path:

C:\msys\1.0\bin\make -k clean
rm -rf hello.exe main.o
make: rm: Command not found
make: *** [clean] Error 127

The makefile works fine when run from a DOS prompt.

How do you get C-Build to use the DOS Path such that it can find the
compilation executables?

Have you been adding C:\msys\1.0\bin to your PATH variable?
Did you restart Eclipse after changing the PATH variable?

Add the MinGW binary-path and the MSYS binary path both to PATH.
You'll need to restart Eclipse if it had been running at this point.
Afterwards, Eclipse should recognise it.

Indeed I have:

C:\WINDOWS>path
PATH=C:\MSYS\1.0\BIN;C:\MINGW\BIN

Which is clearly correct as the make runs fine from the DOS Prompt:

C:\HelloWorld>make -k clean all
rm -rf hello.exe main.o
g++ -g -c -o main.o main.cpp
g++ -g -o hello.exe main.o

Eclipse just doesn't appear to be using the PATH environment variable
(it only gets this far because I supply the path to make.exe in the
Build Command)

C:\msys\1.0\bin\make -k clean all
make: rm: Command not found
rm -rf hello.exe main.o
make: *** [clean] Error 127
make: g++: Command not found
g++ -g -o hello.exe main.o
make: *** [all] Error 127

As far as I know, Eclipse doesn't pay attention to the PATH variable. Just
add the path in when you specify what your bulid command is in the project
properties.

As can be seen from the example below, that enables Eclipse to find the
make.exe, but doesn't allow the make.exe to locate the g++.exe
