devkitPro

I was trying to compile one of the examples by going to the directory of the example, then using the build command in an ms-dos prompt (by the way, I have Windows XP) after I had navigated to that directory, and I got this error: " 'make' is not reconized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" Why doesn't my computer recognize this commmand?

Sounds like the installer may have failed to set up the path for some reason.

Check your environment variables, make sure that DEVKITARM and DEVKITPRO are set and that PATH contains c:\devkitPro\msys\bin; at the start (replace c:\devkitPro\ with where you installed devkitARM.

Please note DEVKITPRO and DEVKITARM should have msys path format, i.e. /c/devkitPro and /c/devkitPro/devkitARM respectively.
