Well, maybe I stuffed up when installing devkitARM...

I downloaded the file devkitProUpdater-1.5.0.exe and ran it.

I selected the download but not install option so I would have the files for later if need be.

I then ran the devkitARM_r26-win32.exe to extract to g:\ which created the g:\devkitARM folder.

I only just realised that i hadn't run the msys installation exe which was downloaded too.

EDIT: now that is installed too, but I still get the same results...

I have other files like:

libgba-20090222.tar.bz2
libnds-1.3.4.tar.bz2

and a bunch others...what do I do with them exactly?

Maybe I should re-do the whole install and let it install everything itself...

EDIT: I am redoing the install and letting it do it itself now to see if this fixes things

cheers,
Paul
