How to recompile .dol source codes?

New to coding and stuff and I wanted to make some simple edits to some dol sources I found. Mostly graphic stuff and certain lines of text to match my portable. I've installed Devkit Pro and have tried to recompile the unmodified source in Programmers Notepad but I keep getting errors. Did I skip something or/and did I miss something? I'm running Windows 10. The error in getting is "no targets specified and no makefiles found. Stop."
Btw I have the sources in my c:/ directory and none of the folders contain spaces so that isn't the issue.

try one of the example sources first: hello world included in the GC examples download
also run "make" from command line....once you make sure it works then you can try programmers notepad or whatever else you want...

How do I do that? I've got myself in the directory that the Makefile is in but I don't know what to do next.

I was able to get brosexec to recompile in the command line but not Swiss or GCMM. I was getting error about make.exe not being found and it said a bunch of .tpl files were missing. GCMM said it was missing a file named "ft2build.h"
What else should I provide? I'm new to this like I said so I'm pretty lost on trouble shooting it. Thanks mega.

you might need to do this with administrator permissions, depending on where devkitpro/ppc are installed
