Short answer:  Do what it said.  Fire up a DOS box,
cd into Allegro's folder, type make and press Enter.

Long answer:

make.exe is in c:\djgpp\bin which should be on your PATH if you've
installed DJGPP correctly.

GNU Make is a file translation dependency manager. It looks for a
script called "makefile" in the current folder. This file tells
make.exe what files depend on what files and how to translate those
files. In the case of compiling a library, a makefile tells what
executables depend on what sources depend on what headers depend on
what libraries.
