how to create a make file for gcc/c++ with eclipse

[sslap]

Hi,

Edit: Development with Eclipse and GCC

I'm rather new to working with eclipse and C. I already have a problem with the first step of your explanation: (I'm using the blinky_example as start on the nrf51422 board pca10003)

If i execute the build.exe I get the error:" 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

I have followed the nAN-29 instruction:

1. installed the SDK and changed the makefile.windows to my gnu install root C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.8 2014q2
2. installed the GNU tools for ARM Embedded
3. installed the Core utility C:/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32
4. installed the Make utility in C:/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32/bin
   there is a make.exe in the GnuWin32/bin folder so this looks ok to me

What could be the reason for the error and a posible solution?

Easier to start with Eclipse here embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/.../eclipse.html then view the specific page on the blog site for nRF51.

Duplicate question from Development with Eclipse and GCC.

Copy of answer:

Sounds like the path to make.exe might be might be missing from your global Windows paths. Follow the steps below to set the path to GnuWin32:

1.Enter properties for "My computer" then Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables 2.insert ..\GnuWin32\bin path to the PATH variable. Remember to separate from the other paths with a semi colon.
