you need to set in the the enviroment variables, If you dont know how to do that get the devkitpro installer and use that. Start by uninstalling your previous version of devkit and use the installer it will do everything for you. If you dont want to uninstall/reinstall go to their web site and read the setup part on their page.

is there another way? e.g. use visual c++?

For windows XP, if you don't want to reinstall devkitpro:
Go to control panel, system, advanced tab, click on the 'environment variables', find the variable 'Path' in system variables, click edit. Add the path to your msys\bin folder (for me, c:\devkitpro\msys\bin) at the end or wherever.
Really though, reinstalling DKP doesn't take that long, and would make sure you have everything up to date anyway.
EDIT: For VC++, what I do is create a new "makefile" project (it's one of the options in the new project window), and set the build command line to
c:\devkitpro\msys\bin\make
Which is just like typing the same thing from a command prompt with the working folder set to your project's root. So provided that you have a makefile named Makefile there, it will use that. Otherwise you can add -f whatever.mk to give it a specific makefile.

ok i use msys to compile stuff but when i do it comes up with errors
e.g.
/c/rottds/makefile
/c/rottds/makefile suffixes: command not found
/c/rottds/makefile line 6: syntax error near unexpected token '$(devkitarm)),)'
/c/rottds/makefile line 6 'if eq ($(strip$(devkitarm)),);
wtf? do i have to reinstall devkitpro?

No, the installation is probably fine.
The problem is that by entering 'makefile', msys will interpret it as a shell script, which it isn't. Just 'make' will do.

That, or put the following as the first line of your makefile, so that MSYS knows to use Make to interpret it:
Would that work?

You should not type "Makefile", that is the defalt input file that the "make" utility reads to figure out what need to be done. From the msys comand prompt you should change to the directory that contains your Makefile. So in your case, based on your example:
Once there you need to have the make file utility read and do the required work that your make file describes. To see what it would do without actually doing it do the following:
This will display the commands needed to be done based on the dependencies of your "Makefile". If you want those commands done just do the following:
Of course in all of this I am assuming your "Makefile" is correct. It is fairly easy to produce a "Makefile" that "looks" right but is incorrect in it's syntax. Any line that is supposed to be a command from the previous line must begin with a tab character not a space. If it begins with a space then that line will not be executed as a continuation of commands from the prior line and in general will never be executed. For example:
Fictious snippet of a Makefile
| Code: |
I = ../inc/
common = link_list.o log.o tiff_util.o fields.o file_d_rtn.o mime.o
dialogic = gc_api.o srdev_layer.o
s_cygwin = getaddrinfo.o inet_pton.o
linux = $(common) $(dialogic)
cygwin = $(common)
all = $(linux)
base : lib $(all) iosr-tcp.o iolsr-tcp.o iosr-async.o depends.d
ultraclean: clean
clean :
rm -f $(all) iosr-tcp.o iolsr-tcp.o iosr-async.o
rm -f libbase.a
@ echo "Done"
lib : libbase.a
libbase.a : $(all)
ar rv libbase.a $?
gc_api.o: gc_api.c ../inc/emtel_dl.h ../inc/types.h ../inc/emtel_srdev.h
|
In this file the default build is "build" because it is the first label in the "Makefile". Should you type "make clean" the code at the "clean:" label would be executed which remove a bunch of files then prints "Done". if the lines after the label have a space at the begining of the line then the sequence of commands is considered termnnated. To see what would happen with this file if I wanted to "make clean" I do the following:
| Code: |
[gwmiller@uniserv lib]$ make -n clean
rm -f link_list.o log.o tiff_util.o fields.o file_d_rtn.o mime.o gc_api.o srdev_layer.o iosr-tcp.o iolsr-tcp.o iosr-async.o
rm -f libbase.a
echo "Done"
[gwmiller@uniserv lib]$
|
If I put a space at the beginning of the "rm -f libbase.a" line and then do the same command:
| Code: |
[gwmiller@uniserv lib]$ make -n clean
rm -f link_list.o log.o tiff_util.o fields.o file_d_rtn.o mime.o gc_api.o srdev_layer.o iosr-tcp.o iolsr-tcp.o iosr-async.o
[gwmiller@uniserv lib]$
|
I hope this helps.

C:\>cd triad_src
C:\triad_src>make

Apparently the makefile is looking for another makefile in the 'build' folder.

Not to sure if I'm right or not but to me, it doesn't look like its "looking" for another makefile in your build folder, it looks like there "is" another makefile in there and it doesn't know what to do with it. Check if there is a second makefile in your build folder and if there is try deleting it (or taking it out and putting it somewhere safe).
#105268 - sasuke_kun12 - Sat Oct 07, 2006 3:29 am
make works now. don't know what i did this time though! thanks for your help guys! i really appreciate it.
