Since one month I use PODS (Palm OS Development Suite) on my Asus EEE-PC with Windows XP. For a few days it works fine, but then PODS warning me (after I have started PODS):

Error launching external scanner info generator

(m68k-palmos-gcc -E -P -v C:/Palmdevel/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.cpp)

I have tried to build the PRC, but it doesn’t work:

Project … build command is not GNU make

Build error
(Exec error:Launching failed)

I have cleaned the makefile, but that wasn’t the solution. Only the reinstallation of PODS helps. But after a few days … the same problem! At last, the problem was make (make.exe)

To resolve the problem, try this:

- Download MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows)
- Delete the old make.exe (from C:/PalmOSCygwin/bin)
- Copy the mingw-make in that folder
- Rename to make.exe
- Restart PODS
