Issue
I am trying to compile a c project on a new windows PC, but when I run make I get:
D:\Eclipse_Workspace\project>make
#@make -f makefile -C ./ -e cleanobj
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, #@make -f makefile -C ./ -e cleanobj, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [all] Fejl 2
On my other PC the project is compiling just fine. Also "Fejl 2" is danish for "Error 2", have no idea why that is in danish when the rest is english.
EDIT: Here is the makefile (it's rather long)
PROJECT_NAME := ble_app_hrs_s110_pca10028

Solution
In make, every line indented by a TAB character (in a "recipe context") will be passed as a command to the shell. Nothing about such a line will be interpreted by make, except for $.
In particular for you, the # character is not special to make in this context and doesn't introduce a make comment line. So in this rule:
all: #clean
#$(NO_ECHO)$(MAKE) -f $(MAKEFILE_NAME) -C $(MAKEFILE_DIR) -e cleanobj
$(NO_ECHO)$(MAKE) -f $(MAKEFILE_NAME) -C $(MAKEFILE_DIR) -e nrf51422_xxac_s110
the first line is not commented out; it's a command line that begins with a # character and make will ask the system to run that command. Clearly such a command doesn't exist on your system.
If you want to comment out recipe lines in make, you should always put the comment character at the beginning of the line not after the TAB:
all: #clean
# $(NO_ECHO)$(MAKE) -f $(MAKEFILE_NAME) -C $(MAKEFILE_DIR) -e cleanobj
$(NO_ECHO)$(MAKE) -f $(MAKEFILE_NAME) -C $(MAKEFILE_DIR) -e nrf51422_xxac_s110
