Hi Zhao,

You may be having a current working directory problem here. When the 
makefile is launched from within the IDE, the working directory was 
C:\Eclipse_project\study\HelloWorld\Debug\, but when you launched at the 
command line it was C:\Documents and Settings\b7zhao.

Either CD into the correct directory, or launch make like this:
make -C C:\Eclipse_project\study\HelloWorld\Debug\

I hope that solves your problem.

Enjoy!
Jonah
