How? >Thanks to help a newbie. Short answer: Do what it said. Fire up a DOS box, cd into Allegro's folder, type make and press Enter. Long answer: make.exe is in c:\djgpp\bin which should be on your PATH if you've installed DJGPP correctly. GNU Make is a file translation dependency manager. It looks for a script called "makefile" in the current folder. This file tells make.exe what files depend on what files and how to translate those files. In the case of compiling a library, a makefile tells what executables depend on what sources depend on what headers depend on what libraries. -- Damian Yerrick http://yerricde.tripod.com/ Comment on story ideas: http://home1.gte.net/frodo/quickjot.html AOL is sucks!
