This means one of two things (I think!):

1. DJGPP was not installed correctly

DUMP! I hear you shout. But hear me out. Did you do the following:

- Use the ZipPicker at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/

This is a facility that ensures that you download all the files you need,
and that you do no miss certain ones which can cause the irritating problem
you describe here. "stubify" is a program that is located in djgpp\bin that
is needed to  enable you to compile DJGPP programs.

- If you did use the ZipPicker, did you get the binutils?

As far as I know, stubify.exe is in the binutils package - did you get this
from the ZipPicker?

- If you did get the binutils, did you extract them, and the other arhcives
with the pkunzip -d switch?

If you did not do this, all the files would have been dumped into the same
directory and nothing would work (I think!). You need to extract the .ZIPs
with the -d switch so that the directories stay preserved and everything can
go where it must go.

2 - You did not set up the DJGPP environment variable

The "DJGPP environment variable" must point tot he file djgpp\djgpp.env. To
set it do

set DJGPP=C:\djgpp\djgpp.env

or wherever your djgpp.env file is. I personally use a DOS mode batch file
to set up a DJGPP DOS box in my W95 system where I do all my coding -
something like

set DJGPP = C:\PROGRAMS\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
set path = C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM;C:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\DJGPP
.
.
etc
.
.

Hmm - it probably cannot find the Allegro.h file because you have not
compiled allegro yet! You need to have a fully functional DJGPP installation
before you can attempt to compile allegro, which is what you MUST do before
you attempt to compile an allegro demo file - by defintion an Allegro demo
file will NEVER compile unless you have compiled allegro first (since
allegro is called by that demo program, such as DEMO.C) - a nice little
"chicken & egg" problem. I do not know what you mean by it not finding the
source demo.c anymore - what exactly goes wrong?

This definitely sounds as if you have not compiled allegro before attempting
to compile programs that reference it or / and that you did not get all the
ZIPs you need to use djgpp (see above) and / or that you possibly did not
extract with the maintain directory structure switch -d when you attempted
to install the compiler.

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ has detailed instructions on how to setup the
compiler. Try it! If you do not succeed, please feel free to post here again
or mail me for further info. We should be able to help you in a step by step
do-this-did-it-work-yes-or-no approach.

Good luck and fanx for choosing DJGPP!!!
