Can you be more specific?  What is the output of "mingw32-make VERBOSE=1" ?

CMake outputs absolute paths that only work in the target environment.
 You will have to generate new Makefiles on each specific machine you
use.  It's not wrong, it's a design choice.  Many things can go wrong
when you don't use absolute paths in a build.

I don't know how to do these things in Eclipse.
