Having a little trouble with gekko-gcc

[dalc789]

Hey, just starting to use devkitpro again after a long time. So i installed devkitppc, and i'm trying to compile the template 'hello world' program. However, whenever i try to do it, i get this:

> "make"
template.c
powerpc-gekko-gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [template.o] Error 1
"make": *** [build] Error 2

> Process Exit Code: 2
> Time Taken: 00:00

I'm trying to compile it by going to tools > make in programmer's notepad. I've tried reinstalling devkitpro several times. I see a gcc.exe in devkitpro/devkitppc/powerpc-gekko/bin, is that where it's supposed to be? I used the search function and haven't seen any helpful topics. Any help would be appreciated

Which devkitPPC version are you using & which OS?

[dalc789]

the devkitproupdate.ini says i'm using version 16a, and I'm on vista 32 bit

edit: I installed it on my 32 bit vista laptop also to see if it was something wrong with my computer, and got the same error. is there something wrong with this release and vista? or am i doing something very wrong

Not sure right now, this looks like an old Vista problem that was solved a while ago.

Open a cmd shell & type "set > env.txt", paste the output here - mainly I'm interested in the system path and the contents of the DEVKITPRO & DEVKITPPC variables.

It actually looks like you may have the environment variables set incorrectly - DEVKITPRO should be something like /c/devkitPro & DEVKITPPC should be /c/devkitPro/devkitPPC, note the *nix style path.

from the look of it, the paths are set correctly. tried running the makefile through cmd and it still happened. is there something that might be interfering with it?

Did you restart windows after the installation? devkitPro doesn't ask you to do it, but it's necessary.

[dalc789]

yeah, i did try that, but it still didn't work.

ah well, i ended up getting xp on my laptop and now it works. thanks for helping anyway. i guess maybe there's still some issues with vista?

[WinterMute]

Other people seem to have no trouble with Vista so I'm a bit stumped atm really.

What's the system path set to on your Vista laptop?

[dontwantanick]

Vista? Did you try to run it with admin rights?
