Compiler autodetection & executing path question

[rickg22]

Guys, I just looked at this report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1254266&group_id=126998

It says that the autodetection failed to add the path to the executable filenames. I have my path set into the Windows environment, and frankly I really don't know if this is what should happen. I mean, the autodetection is to save yourself from setting the paths, right?

So what's the correct policy? Adding the path to the files, or keeping them plain? It occurs to me that makefiles are to be exported, and I really don't know what should be done in this case.

Ideas?
