Yes. The `setup' program of Allegro is written in C++. Thus, you need to
install the C++ compiler and libraries to be able to build it. I think the
required zips are `gppNNNb.zip' and `lgpNNNb.zip', where NNN is whatever the
current version is. They are found with the rest of DJGPP on Simtelnet sites.
Alternatively, if you don't care about having the `setup' program (all it
does is create a sound configuration file, IIRC), you can compile with the
`-k' option to `make', which will cause the build not to stop when the error
happens.
