Make.exe is a utility program that should reside in your djgpp/bin
directory. It looks for a file called (appropriately enough) Makefile.
This file tells the make program how to compile and link the program. Do
NOT move make.exe into the Allegro directory.

Did you follow the DJGPP setup directions? Did you point the DJGPP
environment variable to your DJGPP directory? Do you have something like
this:
set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
If so, are you sure there isn't a space between DJGPP and the equals sign?
set DJGPP = C:\DJGPP\DJGPP is incorrect since this is actually setting
'DJGPP ' (notice the space) instead of 'DJGPP'. Does DJGPP appear in your
PATH statement before any other types of compiler or assembler directories?
