Thank you for writing up this guide! Really awesome that you did this.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I followed all your instructions, and I am getting this error:

make[1]: Entering directory 'PROJECT_DIRECTORY'
     gcc c/chunk.c                                -std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-unused-parameter -O3 -flto
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, gcc -c -std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-unused-parameter -O3 -flto -o build/release/clox/chunk.o c/chunk.c, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make[1]: *** [util/c.make:51: build/release/clox/chunk.o] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 'PROJECT_DIRECTORY'
make: *** [Makefile:66: clox] Error 2

Have you encountered this error or have any idea on how to fix this?

Sorry - Haven't used since updated the notes etc - but this "feels wrong"..

_Entering directory 'PROJECTDIRECTORY'

Why would the code say entering directory 'PROJECT_DIRECTORY' ; I would "imagine - I'm not running a build" that it wold go "Entering directory c:\'abc'" for example ?! If you could print out the variable or whatever it thinks where you are it might help you figure it out - good hunting

Cheers

I should have been clearer in my comment. I substituted the actual directory path where I ran make and replaced it with PROJECT_DRIECTORY. I also checked the directory to see if it has chunk.c and it does.

But thanks for the help, I'll try to find out what the issue is.
