Exec error: Launching failed [message #82757]

I just created by second eclipse project. First one went beautifully after I
added mingw to the PATH.

Second project got the same error "Exec error: Launching failed". Hmmm.

It looks like I have to add "mingw32-make -f makefile" to the Build Command
under projects for every single project I ever write.

Is there a way to set these kind of properties to my own defaults once and
for all?

Thanks,
John

You do not have to set "-f makefile" by default any posix
make should look for "makefile, Makefile" in this order of course
for case insensitive file system ... it is the same file 8-)

Set in your User profile the path to the mingwin/cygwin tools
The problem is that Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mingw32-make ...")
failed, since there is probably no "mingw32-make" in the default path.

Somebody on this newsgroup was also saying that you have to set
the DLL path for cygwin etc ...

I believe I've cloudied the issue, my question is:
I have to add the "mingw32-make" every time I create a *new* project. Is
there any way to make this my default build command?

That way I create a new project and the build command is automatically set
to "mingw32-make" for me.

Aaah yes, Win32 is grand.

Didn't need to do this.

For standard make project see
"Window->Preferences->C/C++->New Make Projects"
you can specify the defaults for new project here.

Thanks.

It seems that "New Make Projects" is not under C/C++.
I'm using eclipse 2.1.1 and CDT 1.1.0, are you using something newer?
