Build Identifier: M20110210-1200 I'm using cygwin with CDT. If c:\cygwin\bin is not in the PATH before I start Eclipse, then Eclipse will fail to find it, even though I have defined PATH = C:\cygwin\bin;${PATH} in the preferences under C/C++->Build->Environment. It would be nice, if Eclipse would use the path that is specified there to locate binaries like make, gcc, etc. I think it makes sense. (I don't want to pollute by global PATH variable with cygwin's bin directory.) Reproducible: Always

Try ${env_var:PATH} to get hold of path. I also would suggest CDT 8.0 which could make troubleshooting easier. CDT 8.0 prints value of $PATH in the console if "make" is not found. > in the preferences under C/C++->Build->Environment.
