Compiling Custom Firmware. emIDE?

I've been trying to learn how to port cause i want to make a netduino with more pins using the STM32F407IG. I've read for days and followed tons of guides, but can't get any cmd line compilers to run using any guide. see the following. Not sure if it's cause i'm under windows 8?

C:\Porting\NP2\NetduinoPlus2>setenv_base.cmd GCC4.7.2  c:\yagarto
Compiler: GCC4.7.2 c:\yagarto
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Porting\NP2\NetduinoPlus2>Msbuild Solutions\NetduinoPlus2\dotnetmf.proj /T:re
build /p:flavor=release;tcp_ip_stack=lwip /filelogger
'Msbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Trust me it's there. But doesn't work even if i use the GCC compiler from CW2's guide. 

Then i found this program called emIDE. It was actually recommended on the yagarto site. It seems super stable and has a pretty nice gui. So i tryed compiling with that but get a couple of warnings during the build. But it doesn't seem to spit out any files? Does anyone have time to try it out. might be worth looking into a nicer gui compiler. If not I'd really appreciate any help getting started with why those other compilers weren't working.

Thanks in advance.

This sounds like some enviroment variable is not set correctly!

if you install Visual Studio you get usually also some additional command prompts (eg. "Developer Command Prompt for VS2012").

If you run this command prompt shortcut it executes a batch file (on my computer "vcvars32.bat") which sets the correct enviroment variables to run msbuild and other tools from command line.

I guess you need to do the same before you try running some compilers...

Thankyou. Thankyou Thankyou! your a legend, That fixed it.

You are welcome
