Error with the makefile in eclipse

[vin Hari]

Dear experts,

i am actually running my program with my makefile, i created this project with new->project->makefile->empty project

my source file is abc.c

   
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
	printf("hello World");
}

 

makefile for the same is

    
abc : abc.o
	gcc -o abc abc.o -L C:/MinGW/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2.3/ -lstdc++
abc.o : abc.c
	gcc -ggdb -c abc.c
all :
	${Make} abc
clean :
	-del abc.o

when i build this project i get the following error

   

**** Build of configuration Default for project vv ****

make all 
abc
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, abc, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

make: *** [all] Error 2
 

what is this error indicates i am not getting please help me. how to solve this.

From the looks of it, the "Make" variable isn't set, so instead of generating the command:

make abc

it's generating:

abc

And, since you don't have a program named "abc" in the path, the attempt fails. Which is as well, since that wasn't what you wanted anyway.

You'll need to find out how to set "Make" to point to your "make" program. In linux, that's often /usr/bin/make or /usr/bin/gmake. In Windows, I have no idea.

Thank you for the reply Tim,

i got that problem solved my new question is even though now it complies fine and runs with output
it gives me following error at the end.

make all 
gcc -c abc.c
gcc -o abc abc.o 
abc
make: *** [all] Error 11
hello World

when it is successfully creating the exe why it is showing following error

make: *** [all] Error 11

and for some applications it is

make: *** [main] Error 1

please tell me what is the significance of it.
thanks in advance.
