im following the tutorial at

http://www.thaworx.co.uk/ninja/tut1.htm

but when i try to do the make thing i get "Bad command unknown" or somthing like that

Well... I'm not a developer, I haven't read the tutorial, but at a guess you're trying to compile in the Windows command line, and the error you're getting is "Bad command or file name".

If so, the chances are you need to type something like "path=DIRECTORYOFCOMPILER" first. If you are compiling in the right dir anyway, or my assumptions are wrong, ignore this completely.

Hi, I wrote the tutorial.

If you get bad command, I'm guessing you don't have 'make' in your path.

Have you added c:\devkitadv\bin to your path? Even if you have, try typing set path=%path%;c:\devkitadv\bin, enter, then typing make.

Are you running make from the directory your c files are in, and do you have a makefile there?

Just checking...

One problem I have run into time and time again with make is using the wrong version. If you have Borland C++ Builder installed on your machine, it's possible you may have a make entry in your path statement already, but to the wrong make! - I always create batch files in each applications folder I create along the lines of:


My build batch file, click on this to build your gxb using make

cd c:\devkitadv\code\pauls
c:\devkitadv\bin\make
start c:\devkitadv\gpee32\geepee32.exe /GXB=c:\devkitadv\code\pauls\pauls.gxb /RUN


Then I have a make file as follows, funnily enough called "makefile", no extention:

# devkitadv base dir
export CCBASE=c:/devkitadv
# User options passed to the compiler
export CUSER=-DLITTLE_ENDIAN -DGP32
include $(CCBASE)/gp32.mk
#------------------------------

all: pauls.gxb

pauls.gxb: pauls.elf
pauls.elf: paulmain.o
$(LINK)

paulmain.o: paulmain.c

clean:
rm -f pauls.gxb pauls.elf paulmain.o


and that's it. It means that I don't have to include make in my path statement what-so-ever. I am sure most people would hate this method but when you have Borland C++ Builder, Microsoft Visual C++ Studio, Borland free compiler, DevKitAdv all running under one roof, I find it the easiest method.
