Eclipse/CDT "Exec error:Launching failed"
Eclipse 3.2, CDT 3.1
Build error
(Exec error:Launching failed)
You will get this error when there is a problem with your "make" command. To fix this, check your command path and your environment.
To check your command path: Right-click on your project, select "Properties", "C/C++ Build", "Build Settings" tab, "Build command".
To check your environment: Right-click on your project, select "Properties", "C/C++ Build", "Environment" tab, and make sure the PATH variable is set correctly. Click "New" to modify environment variables.

Cool, worked a treat, Thanks.
Worked like a charm! Saved me an hour (of reading docs) or even more ...
Thanks a lot.
I am new to the Eclipse CDT. So I am not sure why i still have this following error. What should be included in the PATH environment variable, I have all my old PATH from the system's PATH envoronment variable setting, and I have added C:\MinGW\bin. But I still get the following when I build a C++ simple hellow world.
Thanks for advice. Mei
