    i am using dev-c++ 4.9.9.2

    when i first start it i get a message that says

    confirm
    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 file name, otherwise you will not be able to compile anything.

    then if i try to compile and run the hello world program

    include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
    cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
    cin.get();
    return 0;
    }

    i get the following error in the compiler log

    The system cannot find the file specified

    i am a total noob trying to learn game programming in C++ from a beginners book and know almost nothing

    any help is appreciated

      Your exact question is already answered in the thread titled "Please Read Before Posting a Qestion". The short version is you probably downloaded the wrong version of Dev-C++.

      Check it out.

      p.s.By the way, the compile log is on the tab labelled "Compile Log", not the tab labeled "Compiler"
