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

What happens if you clean your project, then make?

You'll find clean under tools>clean.

I think I got the same error message 2 days ago and cleaning the project solved it.

Dunno. Try cleaning then!

I've tried using Clean (Alt+2) as well.

Are there any other IDE I can use as opposed to Programmer's Notepad? I remember vaguely reading about it on devkitpro's site, but :S

In fact, Tools->Clean gives me the same exact error:

> "make" clean

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

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

Technically, any IDE will work. Some just take more time to set up then others. I've heard of Dev-C++ and Visual Studio working successfully.

After some decent research I find that it doesn't work in UltraEdit either, and that the problem is that they can't find the commandline to call for 'make', UltraEdit gives me a browse option, but I still wouldn't know what to point it at anyway...

So at this point even trying a second one, it seems my problem is just to where the heck 'make' is pointing...

Is make and everything else, that DevKitPro Needs in your path?

To double check that... head to command line, enter make --version
You'll probably want someone to check over your PATH environmental variable if it doesn't find it.

Actually, this reminds me: Vista users need to launch msys and type unset platform and then hit ENTER before their first compilation.

I've already done that Arikado.

@PhoenixTank - I opened CMD and typed "make --version"
I got:

GNU Make 3.81

Assuming that's the commandline I'm calling, it should be fine, so I wonder why my IDEs can't 'find' it. :[


@daniel_c_w - What do you mean by in my 'path', where's the path supposed to lead? I tried using Browse... in the IDE to find it :S

I did some googlin' for similar errors and found this...

[forum.palib.info]
Fixed the "PATH" variable, but it didn't fix nothin', it did make the DOS window pop up when I run it, but I still have the error sitting there, and the .dol isn't made (but this is in UltraEdit)
Programmer's Notepad still gives the same error.

I also added the other paths, and changed ARM->PPC still, no dice. :[

Yes, I installed devkitPPC as well.

I'm saying that I followed that guide but instead of adding the Environment Variable for ARM, I added the one for PPC.

I asked around on devkitPro's site as well, kinda got an answer, but it was a vague one, as I don't know what system variable I'm missing exactly.

It seems I've added them all, but for some reason the IDE just doesn't love me. :/

Try this: [www.wiibrew.org] :)

That's actually the guide that I mentioned when starting this thread.
