    I tried unsuccessfully to get the make to work under the above Devkitadv version. The only thing I can do with "make" is make clean, any other target fails with an error message originating from "/bin/sh"

    When I run make from the nice blue cmd window, say for example in the Xframe directory. I get errors from /bin/sh not beeing able to find make.

    I belive this stems from "make" calling "make" recursively and going through sh.exe to do so. I found that sh.exe does not have it's path set to what the starting cmd shell has, nor what the make script attempts to export for path. I came to this conclusion by starting sh from the blue cmd shell and observing it's environment settings.

    I tried to add a path setting statement via "profile" and the "ENV" variable so that sh.exe can find make, but this did not work since "make" apperently starts sh.exe in a non interactive mode and profile does not get read.

    Next I tried and copied /devkitadv/bin/* and /devkitadv/tools/* to /usr/bin so sh.exe could find everything there. This got me past the initial error message, but "make" got into an indefinite loop calling make ......

    Has anyone been able to "make" Xframe /and/or am I doing something conceptionally wrong?

    BTW: Yes I did set up user.bat and CMD_RC.bat as well as the XP environment for PATH ....
