Hi!
While trying to make, my console indicates the following error-message
"Error launching builder (make -k clean all )(Exec error:Launching failed)".
I have read C/C++ Development User Guide and was made to understand that I
have to indicate the build command. I am working with MinGW, so I entered my
build command (under Project-Properties-C++...) mingw32-make and restarted
eclipse, but to no avail, although I the path of mingw/bin is correctly set.
Am I still missing something?
Thanks
Harp

Thanks Sean!, you got it right!
I did install msys, tried the batch as you said, changed the build command
from make to mingw32-make (under window->preferences->c/c++->new make
projects), went to project->properties->active configuration and clicked on
"manage". A dialog was brought up where I could uncheck the "Use default
command" into "mingw32-make -k" instead of the former "make -k" (which was
there originally). With these, the build was able to work...
Quite grateful!
