Here is the make file by the way...

# Hey Emacs, this is a -*- makefile -*-
#
# WinARM template makefile
# by Martin Thomas, Kaiserslautern, Germany
# <eversmith@heizung-thomas.de>
#
# based on the WinAVR makefile written by Eric B. Weddington, Jörg
Wunsch, et al.
# Released to the Public Domain
# Please read the make user manual!
#
#
# On command line:
#
# make all = Make software.
#
# make clean = Clean out built project files.
#
# make program = Download the hex file to the device, using lpc21isp
#
# (TODO: make filename.s = Just compile filename.c into the assembler
code only)
#
# To rebuild project do "make clean" then "make all".
#
# Changelog:
# - 17. Feb. 2005  - added thumb-interwork support (mth)
# - 28. Apr. 2005  - added C++ support (mth)
# - 29. Arp. 2005  - changed handling for lst-Filename (mth)

Sorry.. hehe

the example i'm trying to run comes with winARM...

WinARM\examples\lpc2129_adc_stdio


that's where it is..

I miss the "installation"-step in your list. "Installation" is currently
just the extension of the system-search-path (environment variable PATH)
by two entries  after unpacking the WinARM-archive. Please read the
readme.htm in the WinARM "root"-directory.

If make still fails send the output of "commands":

arm-elf-gcc --version
arm-elf-objcopy --version
make --version
sh --version
env

Okay....

but i don't know how to extend the system search path...

OKay, i got it.. thanks
