Does Not Find winavr

[GoogleCodeExporter]

AVR-Project-ide does not find my winavr installation.
I have used non standard installation as I do not want spaces in pathname. AVR 
studio finds it ok but avr-profect-ide does not. Is there a way to manually 
configure.
AVRProjectIDE_Installer.1.105.4039.24632.exe

AVR Studio finds it ok because AVR Studio comes with WinAVR now.

You should probably put the path to the WinAVR binaries into your PATH 
environment variable, if there are no spaces in the path name, it should work.

I know the path name I have in the screenshot is not the same as WinAVR, but 
just make sure it's the first "bin" folder, the one avr-gcc.exe is in.

Thanks.
Making sure winavr/bin was in my path has it working.
I had winavr installed before avr studio and avrstudio found winavr 
without it being in my path. Both avr studio and codeblocks are able to 
work without winavr in the path.
Given I have MingW, cygwin, and microsoft compilers installed, path 
management does becomes a bit of an issue. I suspect many others who 
dable in microcontrollers also have other development systems installed. 
This can create conflicts with different versions of make, etc.  It 
would be good if the path to these executables could be configured in 
avr-project-ide so that they do not need to be in the path.

Thanks again for making avr-project-ide available and for you timely 
response.
