You need to adjust the environment variables. System Properties, Advanced tab. Make sure the PATH variable point to your DevkitPRO installation...

i still don't follow, step by step please?

What program are you trying to compile?

i compile anything even hello world for example. i uninstalled and re-installed, and still doesn't work.

Can you provide an error message so we know what doesn't work?

> "make"

> Failed to create process: ??????????? *note* the ???? are chinese characters

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

is the error message

I presume your using a Chinese OS then?

I don't think it's your paths as the error looks more like a bad executable. Maybe the gcc toolchain does not work on your localized OS, maybe it's not unicode friendly. Do you have any way to test this on a US/English computer?

that seems like a logical reason, Unfortunately i donb't have any use of an english computer for the next 6 months.

i have a question though. About the actual coding, i don't know much about devkitpro, Although i have programmed other things. So I am wondering about creating an mmo, Or atleast try. How does the MMO server work? does anybody know?

It works by keeping track of state, receiving player actions, doing critical game logic and announcing the results.
