    please use the latest Build Tools package, and be sure you keep the bin folder where the sh.exe executable must reside, and let me know the result.

    the problem is related to the make you are using (very old), and to the lack of bin/sh.exe.

    I also suggest to update to the latest version of Eclipse.
