Programmer's Notepad error (Won't make .dol :[)

[Pyrofyr]

Whenever I attempt to "make" in Programmer's Notepad I get the following error:

Code: Select all

> "make"

> Failed to create process: The system cannot find the file specified.

> Process Exit Code: 0
> Time Taken: 00:00

I've tried with the automatically installed Programmer's Notepad (installed during setup) and I've tried fixing it manually, but it's the same as what's already there.

Hopefully asking at the source will help out a bit.

I'm running Vista x64, and I've already made sure that it's Run as Admin.

Are you sure C:\devkitPro\msys\bin is in your path variable?
I'd recommend going into the tools editor and adding in a path before make, so it has no problem finding it.

You should find an item for MSys in your devkitPro start menu, assuming you have one. Click that and a dos style box will open with a bash shell. From there cd to an example directory ( cd /c/devkitPro/examples/nds/templates/arm9 ) and type make there. If that works then, as Josh says, you'll need to add the path to the msys bin directory in your system path.

The other possibility is that you either didn't install Msys or that you accidentally cancelled the extraction process. Either rerun the updater and select msys or edit the installed.ini file found in your devkitPro folder, change the msys version, save the file & rerun the updater.

It works fine in Msys.

I added the Msys directory to my system PATH but it still doesn't work. :/

EDIT:
My current path variable:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraCompare\;C:\Program Files (x86)\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\;C:\devkitpro\msys\bin


I added msys folder without bin, and now I just get "make" and it stays there on screen, no error. When I put code it asks for a devkitPPC output path...

[WinterMute]

Add C:\devkitpro\msys\bin to the start of the path, not the end. You may need to restart the computer but will definitely need to close & reopen PN2 after you modify the path.

Thanks for that, didn't know that the info for there would be bad. It didn't work after closing/opening, guess I'll have to restart, I've been really busy with wiki editing on a personal game wiki so I'll be restarting tonight to try this out.
