Problems with Rebuild

rm -f hello2.exe .objs/main.o  
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), rm -f hello2.exe .objs/main.o, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [clean_default] Error 2
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)

What is wrong? I can compile the single file, but rebuild gives me a problem.

mandrav:
Go to "Settings/Configure plugins/Compiler", switch to the "Makefile variables" tab and change the value of "RM" from "rm -f" to "del /f".
That should do it.

I got into the same problem after deinstalling Dev-C++ (which obviously had this command). I have installed MinGW distribution, but it does not have "rm". So I changed the settings as described above (by the way, wouldn't it be helpful to do it anyway for Windows distribution? Not too many people have Cygwin incidently installed for the sake of "rm" ;-).

Then running "build" is fine, but running "rebuild" produces the following:

Cleaning target "msvc-debug"...
Invalid switch - "<filename>.obj".
mingw32-make.exe: *** [clean_msvc-debug] Error 1
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)

Any ideas?

mandrav:
Grab this package here and unzip it in the mingw installation folder (e.g. c:\Mingw). It contains mv.exe rm.exe and cp.exe. I had these files in my hard drive for so long, I can't remember where I got them... I believe they 're from unxutils.

I think i should bundle those files in the setup (first check the licensing)...

Or add Makefile variables to also allow adjusting of "mv" and "cp" to the DOS alternatives "move" and "(x)copy".
