PN is making a ".PNPS" instead of .dol?

I've followed the wiki guide exactly but when I press Alt+1 to make the .dol, it makes a .pnps file instead... :S Can't figure out how to fix this cause I'm a total newb :O


I get this error:
> "make"

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

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

I have it in C:\projects\wii\helloworld

It opens the pnproj without a problem. The PNPS wasn't there the first time, and it seemed to have been added after, but now it just won't do anything and gives that error. :/

Try manually making programmers notepad "make".

When I checked it in Options it's the same as devkitPro's website says it should be made manually. :S

I only have one extra option "Pass my selection to this tool using manual input" that the guide doesn't have, so I left it blank.

Tried filling it in, still get the same error.

I'm confused. Have you actually started up the Programmer's Notepad IDE or are you doing something else?

Double click .PNPROJ -> Alt+1

That's all I did, just following the wiki guide :S


I purposefully uninstalled both and reinstalled Programmer's Notepad along with it because when I tried it manually the same thing had happened.

Okay, do yourself a favor and load the .pnproj file with the Programmers Notepad IDE (you did install it, right?). When in the IDE, select the option "make".

Assuming the Notepad itself is the IDE, yes I downloaded.

If it's an extension of sorts, no I did not.

I'm going to assume the prior however.

Do you actually have devkitpro installed?

Yes, I have it installed in C:\devkitpro

Just because it's most likely quite relevant... I'm using Vista x64.

Running as an Admin just fine.

If the problem is x64, I do have a laptop running Vista 32-bit, so that's not a big deal.

Hopefully the problem isnt' Vista though, then I'm screwed, only XP machine in my house is my mom's.

If you double-click the .pnproj file in the Windows Explorer, does Programmers Notepad start?

Yes Programmer's Notepad starts, it opens in it just fine. I click on one of the files on the side, and type Alt+1 (Have also tried tools->make) but it gives me the same error.

Can you view the template.cpp source file and makefile when in the programmers notepad IDE?

Yes, I can view the Makefile and the template.c

I do not see a template.cpp, so I'm assuming it's in C instead of C++.

EDIT:Typo

Yeah, that's a typo on my fault, it's .c (I"m personally a C++ guy he-he). Could you copy and paste the output from the compiler?

That's exactly what I get.

And it's cool, I learned in C++ myself using Bloodshed, but I missed most of the class, and I'm too lazy to learn by myself (gotta retake it one of these days :P)

Recreate your project folder from scratch. Perhaps you missed a file you needed to copy into it?

(BTW, I'm doing some simple C++ tutorials on my blog ( [arikadosblog.blogspot.com] ))

I tried copying it from the "template" folder a few times, and no matter what it's not working. @_@; I figured maybe I was missing the .PNPS (It's indeed missing from my original template folder), but since it's actually making that itself, I'm not so sure.

I tried downloading the .PNPS you posted and using it, didn't work

Doublecheck that your makefile is in the root of your project folder.

Hmm, yup it is.

helloworld/
Makefile
template.pnproj
template.pnps
source/
source/template.c


Hmm, I'm pretty sure those are all the files I need too...

Just thought I'd ask cause I can't find it on their site.

Has anyone had success doing this in Vista x64? I know I really doubt that it's my problem, but I figure I'd ask anyway. :[
