Enigma fails to start on Ubuntu 12.04

Josh, how do you even know he installed GCC? He might not have followed all the download steps.

@Jakro, have you installed GCC?

I have a similar problem, but i am running Windows 7 64 bits. I've installed MinGW. By default the installation directory is c:\MinGW32. Here is my error message :

org.lateralgm.file.GmFormatException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe" (in directory "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Downloads\game maker\enigma-dev-master"): CreateProcess error=2, Le fichier spécifié est introuvable
   at org.enigma.EnigmaRunner.make(EnigmaRunner.java:257)
   at org.enigma.EnigmaRunner$3.run(EnigmaRunner.java:151)

So i did a new install in C:\MinGW, but there is no msys sub directory and anyway there is no make.exe in any sub directories ! (i did a search). FYI : 'Le fichier spécifié est introuvable'  means 'no such file or directory.

The PATH variable for MinWG is C:\MinGW\bin, but as i said there is no make.exe anyway.

I forget to tell that i used the 'bundle' installer which should includes everything, and that in the installation process the 'gcc' option was chosen.

For windows use the windows installer: http://www.mediafire.com/download/od18j361y6mpppo/ENIGMA+Zip+Installer.exe
It will extract where you choose (I extract to desktop so it works there as well). If it doesn't work initially then try again like this:
"Have you tried deleting everything, extracting ENIGMA, then move winpatch.zip to a different folder and run ENIGMA.exe. This will mean that ENIGMA.exe won't extract the old .jar and and won't run it, it will just clone git and close. Then extract the .zip manually, but replace the lgm16b4.jar and plugin.jar with the new ones Robert gives: http://enigma-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=1245.0 (remember to rename it to lgm16b4.jar) . And the finally run the ENIGMA.exe. Now it will compile the .dll and it should work."

1) So extract the ENIGMA.
2) Move the winpatch.zip.
3) Launch ENIGMA so it downloaded the newest version from GIT.
4) Extract the winpatch.zip manually.
5) Replace the included .jar with the one provided by Robert.
6) Launch trough ENIGMA.exe.

This works for me. I hate that we still haven't made this easy, but because of the rapid development stuff breaks all the time. I think the newest GIT version doesn't even work.

edit: You might also use this: http://enigma-dev.org/downloads/2013-05-21/ENIGMA-Installer.exe But I haven't tried it.

Thanks TheExdeus for your help. In fact i am using the windows installer with the latest update from Robert and everything is fine. I did a mistake in the past when installing the enigma.jar file from Robert.  Then I had problems when i tried to install the source version.

A question with the windows installer : is it possible to get the latest version from the repository with this version ? I am a newbie with git. I ran the git-bash.bat in the ENIGMA directory, and in shell mode i tried the update command. It asked me if i trust the git server address and then i've got the following error message :

permission denied (publickey).
fatal : Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access right and the repository exists.

everything seems to be working for me, except debug fails on the c++ level and absolutely nothing happens after the compile dialogue.
