How much memory do you have? And of that, how much is free? Windows will put
it's hands on every last bit it can, and less than 16 megs will do it. I
recommend either going into the DOS BOX properties and allowing more DPMI memory
(32 MB+ should be fine). Otherwise, quit to plain DOS if possible and build
allegro from there (using CWSDPMI with it's multi-megabyte swap).

If even that doesn't help, edit the makefile and find the line containing "-O3"
and erase that line. I do NOT recommend this and would not do it, because it
slows down the Allegro library, but it does tell the compiler to just compile it
without any special processing.
