'Ello. I am running on Windows XP, and I can't figure out how to make make work.

Error:
Code:
make[1]: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found


I stinking don't have a /bin directory!!! I am using devkitarm r11. I tried using dka r8 with no luck.

Do you have MSYS in your PATH?

We get this occasionally when we try to pass too many files into AR at once. Making a couple more lib files fixes it.

What does that mean?

And Mike... I am not using AR. I am just running a make file; even one with nothing but a simple echo or other command (you know).

Or http://distrowatch.com/ and take your pick of a decent GNU environment ;)

'sh.exe' is a shell executable - I imagine that the make file you are using uses shell features.
