Error: Program "make" not found in PATH when I try to build C project in eclipse

I am trying to build any C project using eclipse.

I installed CDT plugin and Mingw.

However I cannot build a C project because of following error.

14:29:16 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project C_Test_02 ****
make all 
Cannot run program "make": Launching failed

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH
PATH=[C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Klocwork\User 9.5\bin;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAE~1;C:\utils\checkstyle;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Klocwork\User 9.5\bin;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\ProgramFiles\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAE~1;C:\utils\checkstyle]

I added C:\MinGW\bin to my environmental path. But 'make' is not in C:\MinGW\bin. I think the error occurs because C:\MinGW\bin doesn't include 'make' although I followed the Eclipse FAQ to build C project. I can find only gcc(s), automake(s), mingw32-make(s).... in C:\MinGW\bin.

Could you let me know how I can get 'make'?

UPDATE

I founded 'make' file. refer to comments below) But a makefile isn't generated automatically. Properties>C/C++ Build>Builder Settings 'Generate Makefiles Automatically' option is diabled.

Could you let me know how I can enable this option?

Already Solved this problem. Please follow this page

Program "make" not found in PATH

You may try altering toolchain in case if for some reason you can't use gcc. Open Properties for your project (by right clicking on your project name in the Project Explorer), then C/C++ Build > Tool Chain Editor. You can change the current builder there from GNU Make Builder to CDT Internal Builder or whatever compatible you have.

First, remove the eclipse CDT. To install C/C++ compiler and Eclipse follow the instructions on this link https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/howto/EclipseCpp_HowTo.html

If still no success follow the @Questioner's answer.

Create a copy of the mingw32-make exe. Rename mingw32-make to make. Include the path to the executable in PATH variable. Solved my issue.
