OffTopic > makefile problem

Ok so I opened my cmd.exe on windows, and went to the folder directery that I was supposed to. There's a makefile in there for compiling. So I typed make and it said on my cmd.exe make is not recognized as an internal or batch file. Could someone tell me whats wrong.

You do not run make from the command line with makefiles. You have to have an unix style command, such as cygwin or minw.

If you installed devkitadvance then you should have a mingw shell.
