because it compiles my C programs.

- Make sure you have your DJGPP environment variable set correctly.
Allegro's Makefile uses it to decide whether you are compiling for DJGPP or
Linux. If that doesn't help, try typing `make djgpp'.

- Is this DJGPP version 2.0 or 2.01? If 2.0, you might consider upgrading. I
think the latest version of `make' is 3.76. Also, which Allegro version?
Current is 2.2. Please give complete version numbers when reporting problems.
