I have my enviroment setup. I go into the command prompt. I ran ps2dat. When i tried to start a new file by doing "make -f makefile" it gives me an error message. Is there another way that i can start compilling?

Maybe you should tell us what the error message is...

Yes... I would assume that would help.

1. Tell the error, we don't want a tiny screenshot showing a text error message from running make, especially when it's so small you couldn't read it anyways. You can copy/paste the error, it's ok, they aren't going to kill any kittens if you do.

2. You don't need the "-f makefile" part. If you just type "make" it will automatically check for a file called either "Makefile" or "makefile" to use.

3. Is there a file called "makefile" in the current directory?

No there is not a "makefile" file. Im sorry I thought the picture would be much bigger. It says I need to specify a target and no targets have been found.

make requires a makefile.

I'd highly recommend you read up on how unix style development tools (such as make and gcc) work.
