Dev-C++ problem

[moudy]

Hello every one
I'm planning to start learning some C++ from tuts.
I downloaded Dev-C++ and installed it... But I'm getting this statement when I open the application

Code: Select all

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 seeting in Compiler Option contains correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compile any thing.

Can any one just tell me whats this, and if possible does any one know any compiler that is quit simple to use ?
Thanks.

It looks like make.exe wasn't installed or the dev-c++ installation file failed to add the path to the class paths , check your dev-c++ directory for make.exe and if it's there, add the directory it is in to the path environment variable. In XP, you can do that by rightclicking on my computer and then on properties somewhere you'll find it.. On vista it's a pain and you have to do it in the registry instead

If make.exe is missing, try reinstalling dev-c++ (admin rights in vista?)
