Make error after upgrade to version 6.

Hi,

I've been using CodeLite for awhile now and I'm enjoying it a lot. After updating to version 6, I get the following error when I try to build my current project or even if I make a brand new workspace and project.

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j4 -e -f Makefile"
----------Building project:[ hello - Debug ]----------
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'c:/Users/Tom/Documents/Programming Projects/test/hello'
C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -o ./Debug/hello @"hello.txt" -L.
/usr/bin/sh: C:MinGWbing++.exe: command not found
mingw32-make[1]: *** [Debug/hello] Error 127
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'c:/Users/Tom/Documents/Programming Projects/test/hello'
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
1 errors, 0 warnings

Project make file:

Hopefully the above pastes will help. Any idea why I'm getting this error?
Thanks in advance.

This seems to be a problem with a sh.exe that is located somewhere in your path.
The exact same error was reported 2-3 hours ago and successfully solved by removing the old sh.exe from the path

Thanks for the quick reply, renaming sh.exe in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin did the trick! I'm confused as to how this works though..

You can also add SHELL=CMD.EXE to the make command line.

make.exe SHELL=CMD.EXE

Forces make to use CMD.EXE instead of going off and looking for sh in the path.

I encountered the same problem. I have 'R-tools' installed which comes with its own copy of sh, and it needs to be first in the PATH.

I resolved by adding SHELL=CMD.EXE in Settings->Environment Variables... (Ctrl-Shift-V) in codelite. Adding it to system environment variables (control panel -> etc.) did NOT help. Adding it in Codelite settings did.
