'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Post by antii »

So this is my first tim trying to program anything other than the all to simple arduino "blink" program.

I made my own image to program onto the minipov 3 and it doesnt want to compile the 'mypov.c' file into a .hex file.

After i type in the command promt "make program-mypov" i get the message "'make' is not a recognized internal or external command..."

It had no problem using the 'del' command on the old mypov.hex file.

I am using a usb to serial adaptor
I am running windows vista on a dell laptop.
Nothing seems to be wrong with the device, i have checked for bridges and the lights flashed with the program that the microcontroller came with.

I built it from the Minipov 3 kit.

i installed WinAVR and renamed and added the new files in the bin.
i edited the port to com3 in the avrdude file.(although i am unsure if that is the correct port, its what i used for the arduino...)
I made the image with the generator from magician soft.
I compiled the minipov firmware using the 'dir' command.

i dont see where the problem would be so ask away...

The command line processor is not finding make.exe. It should be in the WinAVR folder under ...\WinAVR-20100110\utils\bin.
Either WinAVR was not fully installed, or it didn't set up the correct path for you. Try re-installing.
