To build Allegro, you should simply go to the Allegro directory (wherever you put it) and type `make', on its own, with no parameters. If this gives file not found, you need to download mak375b.zip from your distribution site and unzip this with the -d parameter into your D:\DJGPP directory. The reason you can't link in the alleg library is that you haven't successfully built it yet - you have to get make to finish its job first. Note that to compile Allegro you also need all the C++ development tools, because some of the utility programs are written in C++. : My machine setup has 2 hard drives, (c&d) with both djgpp and allegro : on d. my autoexec looks like: You AUTOEXEC.BAT looks fine to me. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford.
