Upgraded to vista, reinstalled Environment(DevkitPro)

It won't Compile anything(tried only with libwiisprite)

This is the error I got, please help.

C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Projects\libwiisprite>make
gamewindow.cpp
powerpc-gekko-g++.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [gamewindow.o] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

Looks to me like you dont have libwiisprite properly installed or linked (in you makefile) to your program.

libwiisprite is the program I'm compiling :P

was just using it as a test.

In that case, make sure that all the libwiisprite source is in your source folder. If you used the default install path, then your full path should be:

C:/projects/projecttitle/source/allthelibwiispritesourcefilesareinhere

I hope that helps

Google "CreateProcess: No such file or directory" and look at some of the results. It looks like the problem is related to your search path.

thanks, I don't know why I didn't do that in the first place, lol

The error is that make can not find the compiler. Help it out by telling where to look and/or making sure that it even exists.

I know, I already solved it :p

thx :)

I'm jumping into the deep end here, and I'm using the Devkitppc setup (Windows) page step by step, but I have the same problem. In the discussion on that page, someone else has asked the question, but has no answer.

I haven't a clue how you have fixed it. I've tried searching the net for answers, but the closest I can find states to include the compiler location in the IDE.

Well, Programmers Notepad 2 doesn't use that and the command prompt doesn't give me a lot of choice there...

Could someone please take some pity on me and explain what is missing/wrong and why?

Thanks

I originally had the same problem. Delete everything you have already installed (or start from scratch so to speak). Run the installer, making sure to install devkitPPC, libogc, and libfat all into a devkitPRO folder in your C drive. Also be sure to install msys and programmers notepad. After that, create a projects folder in your C drive. Copy the helloworld example from the examples folder (somwhere in your devkitPRO folder) into a folder named helloworld inside your projects folder. Open template.pnproj with programmers notepad. Select make at the top of the Programmers Notepad window. You should get a clean compilation resulting in a helloworld.elf and a helloworld.dol file.

Yup, I've done that, but all I get is:

> "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

If I go through the command prompt and MSys, I also get this result.

Clues?

go into msys and type: unset platform Then press enter. Then try compiling again.

No change:

Paul@PAUL-VISTA ~
$ unset PLATFORM

Paul@PAUL-VISTA ~
$ cd /c/Projects/Wii/HelloWorld

Paul@PAUL-VISTA /c/Projects/Wii/HelloWorld
$ ls
Makefile  build  source  template.pnproj  template.pnps

Paul@PAUL-VISTA /c/Projects/Wii/HelloWorld
$ make
template.c
powerpc-gekko-gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [template.o] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

Paul@PAUL-VISTA /c/Projects/Wii/HelloWorld
$

Try reinstaling devkitPPC.

I've tried that, I've also tried rebooting to make sure that the settings take hold. Still no change.

Should I take this up with the DevKitPro forum?

check the environment variables

What should I be looking for?

see if they set the devkit folders correctly

Paths should be:

c:/devkitPRO/devkitPPC

c:/devkitPRO/libogc/include

c:/devkitPRO/libogc/lib

do you have uac turned on? that could be a problem maybe
