eclipse - Program "make" not found in PATH

Question

I'm having the Program "make" not found in PATH error in eclipse. I checked the path variable which is:

C:cygwinin;
%JAVA_HOME%in;
%ANT_HOME%in;
%ANDROID_SDK%ools;
%ANDROID_SDK%platform-tools;
%ANDROID_NDK%;
%CommonProgramFiles%Microsoft SharedWindows Live;
C:Program FilesNVIDIA CorporationPhysXCommon;
%SystemRoot%system32;
%SystemRoot%;
%SystemRoot%System32Wbem;
%SYSTEMROOT%System32WindowsPowerShellv1.0;
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100ToolsBinn;
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSBinn;
C:Program FilesGitcmd

The PATH starts with the folder which contains make (I checked and make.exe is in there), but eclipse still goes Program "make" not found in PATH.

I have tried changing the path and restarting several times but nothing seems to change.

You may try altering toolchain in case if for some reason you can't use gcc. Open Properties for your project (by right clicking on your project name in the Project Explorer), then C/C++ Build > Tool Chain Editor. You can change the current builder there from GNU Make Builder to CDT Internal Builder or whatever compatible you have.
