Is there Make.exe is a utility program that should reside in your djgpp/bin directory. It looks for a file called (appropriately enough) Makefile. This file tells the make program how to compile and link the program. Do NOT move make.exe into the Allegro directory. > supposed to be one?

Did you point the DJGPP environment variable to your DJGPP directory? Do you have something like this: set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV If so, are you sure there isn't a space between DJGPP and the equals sign? set DJGPP = C:\DJGPP\DJGPP is incorrect since this is actually setting 'DJGPP ' (notice the space) instead of 'DJGPP'. Does DJGPP appear in your PATH statement before any other types of compiler or assembler directories?
