I took the plunge the other day and downloaded DJGPP!

I seem to have it all working alright.  I played around with RHIDE, and
I went through all of the allegro examples.  Today, I downloaded DFE95.
It doesn't work.  It doesn't seem to be actually sending the compiler
commands to the command line.  The message window gives the right
command line then says that the compiler returned no errors or
warnings.  The trouble is that it doesn't do anything.  There is no new
object or executable files created.  Anybody else have trouble like
this?  I do have the paths set up correctly, and I've tried the exact
same commands on the command line myself.  They work like a charm.

I have a functioning knowledge of C/C++, but I would like suggestions on
how to go further.  How do I find out about memory management, assembly,
graphics, and all that stuff that isn't in your standard C book?  Any
ideas are greatly appreciated.  I especially want to learn more about
graphics and games programming.  How do I learn to use Allegro
efficiently?

Thanks,
Rudye
