Rebuilding code and converting it to .hex in AVR Studio 4

[Ahdem99]

Hey guys, im working on my first robot, so i`m new to robotics, also new to programming, so, when i make my project with Project Designer, i get to the point where i need to convert the code that PD made, into .hex. I do it using AVR Studio 4. As it says in the tutorial, i go to build, then Rebuild all, but it always ends up with an error :
make:  *** No rule to make target `../../../All', needed by `VR_Axon2_demo.elf'.  Stop.
Build failed with 1 errors and 0 warnings...
 
So, i got stuck by this, and i cant really do anything. I did it several times, and i always get this error. I`m using WindowsXP, and i think that the problem is naming the files, and i don`t know where i did wrong.
Please help meee!

  Hello!
Yes, I have had a similar problem. I can not convert to the elf file, which is needed for final
download. Even then, you may not be able to download via your USB, because you may need
a "virtual" USB software driver.(available in the tutorials). I eventually bought a separate hardware programmer, which studio 4 recognizes, but still did not have the elf file. 
Getting closer to the answer, though.................

Also, even though i install the USB driver, it doesn't recognize the device (Axon II in this case). Do you know what is the problem?

  Hello!
That is EXACTLY one of the other problems that I was having. my only recourse was to buy a hardware
programmer from China. Studio 4 did recognize the device , and appeared to "talk" to the Axon.
The only problem left, was to compile a source file, ultimately, to an ELF file. This is the point
that I am at now. (hardware device is in a 500 series, as defined in the document files)
I loaded Studio 6.2, and tried the programmer with that. Did not work.
HOWEVER, the source file DID make an ELF file. At that point, my 500 programmer would not
work with studio 6.2, but the program requested a 600 version. I looked this up, and it was
expensive. Tried to use the 6.2 studio ELF file to be loaded from the Studio 4 platform, to the
Axon, but did not work. (Was a long shot, just wanted the thing to work.    )
Trying to use programmers and files from different platforms will not work, as libraries and
protocols are different.(I found out the hard way). If you can derive a solution, Please advise.
