The quickest and easiest way to set up your environment on Windows

[Pothead]

Help!
I have a problem with DevkitPro! When I type "make" the shell writes  "make: *** No targets. Stop."
Pls help me!

[gibbocool]

you need to set the environment PATH variable. should be info in the readme

[BadBoy_]

make sure you have a file called "makefile" (without ") in the folder (make also sure that it has no extension)

[Pothead]

@ BadBoy_ I have this file in the folder with the "main.c" file but the shell shows "... No targets. Stop."
@ gibbocool How do I set the environment PATH variable? Or where do I find this "Readme"? 

[jono]

If when you type 'make' it gives the error "No Targets. Stop" your path is probably correct.

As Badboy said, you need a makefile to tell the compiler what to do, you should place it in the same folder as the main.c.

[gibbocool]

Ok i'll tell you:

Control panel > system properties > advanced > environment variables > system variables

Then add C:\devkitPro\devkitPSP\gnu;C:\devkitPro\devkitPSP\bin to the end of the "Path" variable. Of course the exact path might be different depending on where you have installed.

[Pothead]

And then? Do I have to restart my PC now? Because it doesn´t work yet though I have added these "Paths" to the "Path" variable. Oh my god what shall I do??!!

[gibbocool]

it should work now, that's all i did to get it to work.

Is there maybe a mistake in my Makefile?

Code:

OBJS = main.o
TARGET = hello

CFLAGS = -02 -GO -Wall
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)

EXTRA_TARGETS = EBOOT.PBP
PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = Hello World! (C)

Or maybe I use the wrong shell? I use that one in the dir C:/devkitPro/msys/msys.bat is there another in another folder?

[gibbocool]

Try put

Code:

PSPSDK=$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)
include $(PSPSDK)/lib/build.mak

at the end of your makefile

[Pothead]

hmm I tried it but it still shows "No targets." Do anyone of you know a homepage where I can download the whole directory of the DevKitPro?
Thx Pothead.

I think just do it the long way round - cygwin + psptoolchain.

I've got devkitpro installed and trying to get psplinkusb going. (I'm working on a PSP slim here).  I don't think I can use the latest build of psplinkusb without updating my toolchain, but devkitpro only updates ever so often.  Anybody have any ideas of how I can update my toolchain or get psplinkusb going?  The dev cycle of going into USB mode is starting to aggravate me.  Thanks.

PS, not interested in going the normal way of installing cygwin and the toolchain that way.  I guess I'll just wait if it can't be done yet.

Whenever I try to compile anything with it, it gives me a weird error:

Code:

Error, path not large enough for creating the PSPSDK path
Makefile:24: /lib/build.mak: No such file or directory
c:\mingw\bin\make.exe *** No rule to make target '/lib/build.mak'.  Stop.

Any ideas?
