Yes, it is. PATH is set by bash and some other files too so it is completely expected that you can't see another PATH in the file. See http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/BashInitialisationFiles.html for a crazy chart.

No, you are supposed to cd to your *project directory*, then execute the steps shown on the website to configure and build your project.
