I'm new and could be lost. Makeall error code w/ PN

I was introduced to your website by a friend today. I have a project I want to automate and he said this is where to come and learn it all.

So I started with the Embedded Electronics tutorials today. I ordered all three kits and downloaded WINAVR as directed. I figured I’d do a practice run at opening the blink_1MHz.c file and going through the makeall steps. The tutorial says I should get a huge file, but I don’t. Below is how the screen reads

“make.exe” all

“make.exe”: Interrupt/Exception caught (code = 0xc00000fd, addr = 0x4217b3)

process Exit Code: 225

Time Taken: 00:01

I’m just guessing but I don’t think it was suppose to do that.

I opened the file in Programmer’s Notepad

I’m running 64 bit windows 7

Thank you for your help.

Hi Lonestar, welcome to lots of fun ahead if you keep at it :smiley:

Some questions:

Do you have another make installed? Mingw, cygwin, mame compilers, etc? If you drop to a command line, CD to the directory with your code, and run

C:\winavr-20090313\utils\bin\make all

does it work?

I don’t have any other programs loaded, and i can honestly say that i haven’t found the command line folks are referring to.

The command line which ships with Windows: Start->cmd

he said he was using Windows 7 therefore start>run>cmd is not an option.
