Hi there! A while back I started working on a small personal project, to make a short MS-DOS game, but I'm kind of stumped and could use some pointers from someone experienced.

My main OS is Mac OS X, so I've followed instructions I found online to get DJGPP working (and cross compiling for DOS) on OSX. Which works perfectly, I can generate .EXE files that run on the real thing, from the comfort of my work computer.

So now I'm trying to get Allegro, a game library, to work. I modified the Makefile of an older version (4.2.2, one that still targeted DOS), and managed to get it to compile the liballeg.a library without errors.

From there, the plan was to make a short "hello world" example using Allegro's functionality. Unfortunately, the linking step is failing.

My repo with all my files (including my copy of Allegro) is here: https://github.com/msikma/allegro-dos-test

Basically, when I run make, it seems to be linking Allegro twice. I get about 18 thousand error messages complaining about multiple definitions. This has me completely stumped. My makefile is here: https://github.com/msikma/allegro-dos-test/blob/be760a4f6cf1a41755813d5d55e15620cf16a12f/Makefile - this assumes that the user first goes into the vendor/allegro-4.2.2-djgpp-xc/ directory to run "xmake.sh lib", which compiles Allegro and generates the liballeg.a file.

Here's a log of make: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/msikma/cb28624117475e24d0e6e0594775ae73/raw/ea76fd4689375fd6169ad6c79f72ed13ce03145b/compile.txt

And the C file I'm trying to compile: https://github.com/msikma/allegro-dos-test/blob/be760a4f6cf1a41755813d5d55e15620cf16a12f/src/main.c

Any help that you could give is greatly appreciated :)
