Description Hans Riekehof-Boehmer CLA 2015-08-27 08:39:44 EDT 
The generated makefiles contain the "del" command rather than the "rm -rf" command to delete the files. 
Besides eclipse for C/C++ i have an msys2 installation providing the necesarry gnu tools. There are also available on the path. I didn't find anything on the web how to solve this problem in a convincing way.

I recognized that this behavior just occurs when i create a "Makefile project with existing code". In this kind of project the generated makefiles always contain "del" instead of "rm" as the clean command.

When i create a C/C++ Project the generated makefiles contain "rm" as the clean command.

Seems that different project types are using different makefile generators ?!
