Dev-C++ compiler problem

Chada

Guys ive been through every dev-cpp compiler guide i can find and i'm still getting this compiler error:

"Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Documents and Settings\daN^\My Documents\Final Year Project\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Documents and Settings\daN^\My Documents\Final Year Project\Makefile.win" all
g++.exe src/display.o src/engine.o src/main.o src/orc.o src/player.o src/sound.o src/sprite.o src/spriteBase.o src/MenuItem.o src/Menu.o src/Font.o src/SFont.o src/Item.o src/message.o -o "game.exe" -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_mixer -lSDL_image -lSDL_ttf -mwindows -s

The system cannot find the path specified.

make.exe: *** [game.exe] Error 1

Execution terminated"


The code is fine, but i can't seem to get it running, even though i've slotted all the sdl dlls in the right dev-cpp folders.


Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Dan

Im no expert on compilers, but could it be the '^' character in the folder name that the compiler doesnt like? Maybe it only expects alphanumerica ascii characters

I think some makefile processors treat the ^ as a special character. I know NMAKE does, others may do as well.

yeah, DaSilva and aidan_walsh are right.
'^' is special character under console subsystem too..or ms-dos.
