sunbiz: Steps to reproduce:
1.) Create New C/C++ project from samples (Pi)
2.) Right-click Makefile and click Add Target
3.) give name init to target and press OK
4.) right-click on Makefile and press on the init target that can be seen now, the exception is thrown

Comment 2 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-29 14:03:04 UTC 
The problem is that when we run makefile targets we run hardcoded "make" (see MakeBaseAction).
Make utility from the default (or active) toolchain collection should be used instead.
Comment 3 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-29 14:05:10 UTC 
should be fixed in 6.5 because on windows make will never be found
Comment 4 Alexey Vladykin 2008-09-29 14:16:47 UTC 
Similar issues:
- when local host is running Solaris and "make" is not available: issue 111811.
- when remote host does not have "make" command: issue 148613.

Comment 16 Alexander Pepin 2008-10-21 19:12:34 UTC 
Can not reproduce the issue in NB6.5RC1

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.5 RC1 (Build 200810171318)
Java: 1.6.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b23
System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb)
Userdir: C:\Users\ap153252\.netbeans\6.5rc1
Comment 17 soldatov 2008-10-22 10:03:27 UTC 
I can suggest such scenario:
- Delete 'C:/msys/1.0/bin/make' from Tools|Options window
- Restart IDE
- Open makefile based project
- Expend 'Important Files' node
- Slect 'Makefile' node. Call context menu. Select 'Make'
==> exception

Comment 18 Alexander Pepin 2008-10-22 16:17:54 UTC 
I think that the main issue is an unhandled IOException. Please fix it ASAP.
Comment 19 Alexander Simon 2008-10-22 16:59:23 UTC 
>I think that the main issue is an unhandled IOException. Please fix it ASAP.
It is not true. IOException is handled and shown.
It is real P1?
As a fix I can remove error dialog.
Comment 20 Alexander Simon 2008-10-22 17:52:06 UTC 
fixed, change set:
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/5a06553cddd2
Development: please, review fix.
QA: please, verify fix in main trunk. Escalate IZ if it is real show stopper.
Comment 21 Sergey Grinev 2008-10-22 18:09:15 UTC 
verified. This is safe and valid as a general solution for processes being run through NativeExecution.

Maybe we should introduce some UI to notify user about invalid make for this particular action? (but not in 6.5)
Comment 22 Egor Ushakov 2008-10-22 19:35:04 UTC 
I agree with the fix for 6.5 but disagree in general.
Exceptions must not be masked. 
At least a log record should be done.
In case of IOException user will see return value -1 and may have no idea why he got it.
