I have the following error in Eclipse CDT (using Windows 7). How to correct it?
Error: Program "make" not found in PATH
PATH=[C:\cygwin\bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.6.0/bin/client;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.6.0/bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.6.0/lib/i386;C:\Program Files\WinRAR;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\cygwin\bin\;C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EX00.502\eclipse]
Path Environment variable has the following
C:\cygwin\bin\
BASH
You should install make package in cygwin. To do this execute cygwin setup.exe and when the window of packages opened, search make and install it. This is gonna solve your problem i think
You're missing make which is used for processing Makefiles to build programs.
Also to me it seems that this is more related to superuser.com, here is a similar question.

I have installed MinGW 3 times and I've also added path in env. variable but whenever I try to run a code in CodeLight it just gives me the following error:
mingw-32-make.exe: *** [ALL] Error 2
In MinGW installation tutorials there are .exe files in the bin folder but I don't have any .exe file in the bin folder inside MinGW. I've tried installing it 3 and very carefully.
Can someone help me out?
Make sure the compiler and build tools are properly configured in the IDE (CodeLight).
Installing MinGW by itself doesn't tell CodeLight were to find it.
There is a standalone MinGW-w64 personal build available at http://winlibs.com/ that doesn't need installation, just unzip it. On the site there is an explanation on he wot configure Code::Blocks IDE to use this compiler. The steps should be pretty similar in CodeLight.
I tried to build a C++ project using Cygwin. I got the following error:
make all
Cannot run program "make": Launching failed
Error: Program "make" not found in PATH
I have C:\cygwin64\bin in the PATH, which contains the file makeg. Is there meant to be some other make file, and where can I find it?
You need to install make.
If you want to know how to do that see the answers to install python and make in cygwin.
I get this error when I try to build a c++ project, however I can run cpp apps in Xcode, I've downloaded CDT for Eclipse, so the compiler must be installed.
echo $PATH:
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
I'm using Mac, I've found posts saying download gcc or Xcode, or solutions for Windows, it's very frustrating that I can't find the answer for such an easy problem, so please… How can I set the PATH variable for my cpp projects in Eclipse?
This question should help. It looks like you need to install XCode command line tools separately to use compilers and build systems outside of XCode (e.g. on the command line or in Eclipse).
I am currently trying to set my eclipse so that I can start c++ development on my Windows computer. However, I am stuck with some errors. But first, here is what I did so far:
Installed the CDT for Eclipse
Installed Cygwin (with the additional packages gcc, gcc and make)
Added all "paths for headers" in Eclipse
The problem is that when I try to run my Hello World program, I get Launch failed. Binary not found.
I already build and rebuild the project but the program is still not running. It must be because of these errors that I have:
/bin/sh: g++: command not found
make: ***[src/HelloWorld.o] Error 127
What can I do to solve these errors?
Try running the Cygwin setup.exe again and select the packages for g++. Search for that and make sure those are installed. It should be under the name gcc-g++. The C++ compiler is installed separately from the C compiler.
Ok, I figured it out by myself. Since this really freaked me out, I want anyone else who has this problem to know how I solved it.
So apparently, since I had g++, gcc and all that installed, it had to be a problem with the path.
So what I did was check my path. If you don't know how to edit it, check this link http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
So in there, I chose Path under the System variables and clicked on Edit.... What I noticed was that instead of C:\cygwin64 it said C:\cygwin. All I did was append the 64 (since I had installed the 64-bit version of cygwin) and I was done.
I restarted Eclipse, cleaned and built the project and the errors where gone!
I have installed Eclipse and CDT (to use C/C++ in eclipse CDT is needed), as well as installing Cygwin so that I can compile my files.
In environment variables I've set Path to include the following: "C:\cygwin\bin;"
g++, make and GDC are all installed via Cygwin. I made sure of this by searching for them in the bin folder - they're all there.
If I enter "make" into the windows command prompt, this appears:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
If I enter "g++" or "gdc" into the windows command prompt, this appears (or similar):
'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
So, in other words make is working but the rest isn't..but they're in the same bin folder! Has got me completely confused.
If I attempt to open Cygwin Bash Shell, g++, make and GDC all work there.
However, I need it to work in the command prompt so that Eclipse is able to compile the programs I write in the IDE.
If you know why this is happening, please let me know.
I haven't used cygwin much, but my understanding is you have to use it from the cygwin bash shell.
if you need g++, make, etc, use mingw, with it, g++ works from the normal windows command line.
Here is what happened to me and how I fixed it.
My C:\cygwin\bin\g++.exe is a shortcut pointing to C:\etc\alternatives\g++.exe, which points back to C:\cygwin\bin\g++-3.exe.
Replacing g++ with g++-3 worked for me.
In C:\cygwin\bin see whether g++.exe is there. If not, the installation wasn't done properly and you may need to install again. That's what was my problem and it's resolved :)
Adding the cygwin paths to the Path variable worked for me (windows 8.1 64 bit):
Go to system properties and select advanced system properties
Go to environment variables and select Path in system variables, click edit
Add the Cygwin paths...
for 32 bit:
C:\Cygwin\bin;C:\Cygwin\usr\bin
for 64 bit:
C:\Cygwin64\bin;C:\Cygwin64\usr\bin
In the CMD window, try typing bash to start a bash shell in that window. If that doesn't work, then the cygwin bin directory is not on your path.
If it did work, enter type g++ and type make to see the paths that are being used for these commands. I'm pretty sure your problem is with your PATH variable.
You could install a Windows version of which to get some help in figuring out exactly which executables are being run.
Perhaps it's picking up 'make' from somewhere completely different, and your addition to %PATH% is not working.
Also verify it by typing echo %path% in the same command prompt window as you're seeing the problem in, just to make sure.
