HAM or Devkit
Im reading the first 7 chapters of that book and HAm looks cool so.....should I get that or devkit
I tryed to compile something on HAM and it says
"The proceedent entry pont getreetent couldnt be gfound in the cygwin directory"
wtf does that mean

Which program from the book are you working on? I'm up to chapter 6 and haven't had any problems with compiling the source code yet, except for mistakes of my own that I've had to fix (but there's one program that requires a file from the CD-ROM to compile unfortunately).

I know its wierd
I used one of the examples and even tryd the first lesson and thats what it says
It sasy to install visual ham in the book...but it was installed when I got HAM...Do I have to do something else?

Well, my situation was I didn't have HAM or VHAM, so I downloaded those, installed HAM first, then VHAM, and it worked. I *think* the book says to install HAM before VHAM, so that may be the problem.

As long as you have the right files and code, you should be okay with DevKitAdv. I actually just installed VHAM which should be 50 meg and it works fine.

your problem with ham is probably related to an old version of cygwin.dll in your windows\system directory - search for it and either delete it or replace it with the cygwin.dll in your ham directory

I already replaced it
Still problems but Im fine with devkit anyways
