You don't need to recompile allegro to use it with your programs. Allegro should come with the file 'liballeg.a' which you should place in the \lib directory of your DJGPP installation. It should also include the necessary header files. Like the library, you can install them in your \include directory, but it is preferable to simply modify the C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to put the allegro include directory on the end. Then just #include the allegro headers like any other headers and link liballeg.a when you compile. RHIDE has options to do these things automatically. Rebuilding allegro is only necessary if you need to change some part of it for some reason. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
