Dev-C++ : Problem compiling

[[R_H]]

I reinstalled Dev-C++ (ver 4.9.9.2) recently because I was having problems running the source files, but now after reinstalling I can't compile. Whenever I try to compile a source file it says "The system cannot find the file specified". I went into compiler options to look at the settings, and when I did an alert popped up "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 setting in Compiler Options contains the correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compile anything." What do I have to do so that I can compile again?

Thanks.

Seems like it can't find the make file program, which is weird. Check if there's a "make.exe" in the "bin" directory wherever you installed Dev-C++. If there isn't, something is borked, and you should try reinstalling again, and perhaps re-download the installer. If there is, go to "Compiler Options", and the "Programs" tab (or something like that, my version is in Swedish, so I can't be sure what it actually says). There should be a list of names like "gcc", "g++", "make" and so on. "make" should be set to the previously mentioned make.exe.

If that doesn't work... I've got nothing. Check your environment variables, perhaps. I think DOSbox ruined my "PATH" variable when I installed it, and made some programs unable to run until I fixed it, but I'm pretty sure Dev-C++ still worked (and I only mention this, because your alert mentioned the PATH environment variable).

Just took a look at the bin directory, no make.exe in it. I'll reinstall again.

Thanks.
