Hi all,

I recently setup DJGPP V2 on my machine and downloaded the most recent
version of Allegro (2.1).  I ran make on the Allegro files and ended up
with 26 example programs that all run fine and compiled OK.  I decided that
I would make a modifiaction to one of the example programs (EX26) and tried
to recompile under the RHIDE environment.  I set up the Directories for the
source / libraries / object and such but I can not get the program to
recompile. it seems to make the Object file(EX26.o) ok but fails when
trying to Link.  The Allegro.h file is in the djgpp\include subdirectory. 
If I add the Allegro library file to the Libraries in RHIDE I get an error
that the allegrlib.a <(name might not be right - I am on another machine
right now) is not a director or file.  If I do not have the library file
named named in RHIDE I get a ton of errors about un-referenced files and
functions.  I even added an extra path statement in my Autoexec.bat just in
case the linker was having problems.  Please provide help gurus !!!

If I was smarter I could probably decode the makefile used to build the
examples in the first place but I am not that familiar with C yet or how to
create makefiles.


Thanks in advance
