I've got the .77 source downloaded and the gnu for win32 installed, but when I type "make" from c:\mingw\mame
it says MAKE is not recognized and a command or batch file yadda yadda.
Along with the rest, I also set the path following the instructions on the mame site:
http://www.mame.net/compilewin.html
Any ideas?
EDIT: I know this is frowned on, but I just want to skip the 2 OK/warning screens in the beginning. Whats the difference if I see that screen once or a throusand times? I'm not putting the cab in an arcade to make $$

Here's how I add the environment variable permanently in Windows XP (I'm hoping it's the same in Win2k):
Control Panel->System->Advanced tab->Environment Variables->System Variables->Path->EDIT
Add the following to the end of the environment variable:
; c:\mingw\bin\
If that doesn't work, then make sure that the make command is in the c:\mingw\bin directory. If it isn't then you messed up when you installed the compile environment. To install it, you just need to download the 4 Win32 compile utilities, and install them in the MinGW directory 1 on top of the other.

well, I just read that the menus (except the coktail flipping warnings, etc) can be turned off with mame.ini
just go to a command line and type
mame -cc
to create a mame.ini file (if you don't have one already)
then at the bottom of that file, you can turn off the warning messages.
