another C for ARM problem

I have not been able to get the C for arm software to work. I have loaded the software and tried to 'build' one of the example programs but it failed. I have read the posts written by DATALINK in the forum and followed the instructions given by Steve Tandy so that the IDE path is:
C:\Program Files\matrixmultimedia\WINARM\utils\bin

When I tried again to build an example program I got the following output:
> "C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\WinARM\utils\bin\make.exe" all
Too many parameters - 2
ECHO is off
-------- begin --------
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), arm-elf-gcc --version, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\WinARM\utils\bin\make.exe: *** [gccversion] Error 2

> Process Exit Code: 2

Can anyone help me get the build process to work?
I am using Windows 98SE - this will run the C for ARM IDE Software won't it?

This took a bit of digging, but it looks like WinArm is not compatible with win98. The error generated is because the command line passed to one of the tools is extremely long and falls foul of Windows 98 limits.

I've tried a few things here to get around the problem, but could not get it to work. Sorry.

Oh well, thanks for trying anyway.
