What does the following error message in Dev-C++ mean?

There doesn't seem to be GNU Make file in PATH or in Dev-C++'s Bin path. Please make sure that you have GNU Make and adjust Bin setting or system PATH environment variable and that make setting in Compiler Option contains correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compile anything.

What does the following error message in Dev-C++ mean?
Check you environment variables (command: env). Particularly $PATH (command echo $PATH) - GNU make needs to be in one of the directories in the $PATH list. If it isn't, you need to install GNU make in one of those directories, or adjust the PATH environment variable to point to where GNU make is.
Reply:Sorry. This is one of those problems I'd have to be sitting down at the console to figure out. Report It

Reply:The MAKE utility reads "make" files (lists of C++ programs, third-party libraries, etc.), and uses them as instructions for how to compile programs. Normally, when you run MAKE from your development environment, it calls this program which actually does the MAKE, which calls the compiler, linker, etc., as needed (your make file may include references to already-compiled programs -- i.e., obj's -- that have not yet been linked to your code). If the development environment attempts to locate the MAKE utility, it will look for a variable in your environment that says where to look for this file, then it will check the location of your binaries (compiler exe, etc.) next. If it doesn't see the MAKE utility in either of these locations, you will get this error.
