    Athomas - 2007-08-21

    Basic 3
    1: Windows XP professional OS ..Dev C++ Version 4.9.9.2

    Note : i've started learning C++ right this morning, so bare with me please.
    I dont have any compiler or any other issues as of yet coz i haven't done anything yet.
    I just installed the programme right now
    When i launch it, it gives me an error saying :
    "There doesn't seem to be GNU Make file in PATH or in Dev-C++'s Bin path.Please make sure that you have GNU Make and adjust Bin setting or system Path environment variable and that make setting in Compiler Option contains correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compile anything"

    I have an online course for C++..but when i read the last line "will not be able to compile anything", i got panicky and started browsing up manuals and stuff for trying to get a solution for it but was unsuccessful.

    Thanks a lot even for reading my post.

      As Clifford pointed out, if you had looked at this forum before posting your question, you would have seen s thread titled, in all capital letters no less

      "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION"

      Not far down this thread, you would have seen the following:

      (1) Getting a message about Dev not being able to find Gnu Make?
      http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1347626&forum_id=48211

      In the future, when you have a question, and go to a forum, take a moment
      to look around the forum, and see what is there, before you post a question.
      It avoids a situation where people have to repeat an answer for you - and
      if its an FAQ, they may already repeated it a bunch.

      And, don't disappear between questions. Read the forum regularly, like
      a daily paper. You will find a lot of answers to questions you didn't
      even know you had. Beleive me, the time you spend reading Clifford and
      many other's stuff here is a good investment in - you.

      Enjoy,

      Wayne

      p.s. Please take a moment and read the "Please Read" thread. When you have
      questions in the future - the Basic 3 that are covered in the first section
      help you get better answers, faster.

      You installed the IDE only. You need to download the package version that includes the MinGW toolchain. The download page is fairly clear about that, so is the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION" thread!
