Re: Problem using MAKE - still no good

2005-04-12 by arhodes19044

Thanks for the info.  I have been using cmd.exe.  I have also been 
trying to use make with the Programmers Notepad.  Both techniques fail 
in the same way.  Make tries to run, but it fails.

I quadruple checked the path.  It is fine.  I even moved the winavr 
references to the front of the path.  I even deleted all the rest of 
the path EXCEPT the winavr stuff.  No change.

I then deleted the entire path.  In this case make could not be found.

I then moved make into the current (demo) directory.  Then make WORKED 
FINE.  

So, it has someting to do with the path, but I do not know what.  I am 
running winavr from my F: drive, not the C: drive.  Maybe this has 
something to do with it.   

I may have to move the winavr directory to the c: drive and test it 
there.

Any ideas why the path would not work right?

-Tony
