help building under Eclipse (jq)

When trying to compile any existing project under Eclipse on a Mac OSX I get the error

make all make: jq: Command not found make: jq: Command not found …/…//plugin.mk:9: *** SLUG could not be found in manifest. Stop. “make all” terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

Any project compiles perfectly on the command line and jq has been installed. What else could cause the error?

Did you do this step? brew install git wget cmake autoconf automake libtool jq python

Can you build from terminal?

yes, I can build from terminal all the projects…all libraries are installed and up to date. It seems something specific to Eclipse…

Ah, most people use the command line. A few brave souls configure an IDE, but most don’t. You might retitle this post “help building under Eclipse”? Perhaps someone else has done this and can help.

I’ll do it, thanks.

Not a Mac user myself, but this looks like a possible solution:

" replace the PATH string by your echo $PATH output in the Info.plist"

Many thanks. Unfortunately it did not work, it keeps complaining
