Yah they all say to type make.. typing make didnt do anything for me in command prompt so thats where I got lost.

So and environment variable.. thats in the properties of My Computer isnt it.. I'll see what I can do.. never explained this anywhere, just assumed I'm reading a 'Compiling for Newbies' tutorial and automatically have an environment variable for make setup.


It doesnt do anything for command prompt, typing: make, nothing, nor the examples before work. However if I type make in the Run its like a shortcut to the make.exe file, yay
