`setupdat.h' is generated as part of the make process by the `dat2s' 
utility.  You must not try to compile Allegro inside RHIDE; you must 
use the GNU Make utility as the documentation suggests.  If you don't 
already have a `make.exe' file in your djgpp bin directory, download the 
file `mak377b.zip' from the `v2gnu' directory of the djgpp 
distribution, for example:

    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak377b.zip

Unzip this as you unzipped the rest of djgpp, then go to Allegro's 
base directory and type `make'.  This will build the entire library 
-- the library file, the example programs, the test programs, the 
utility programs, and the few intermediate files like `setupdat.h' 
that are generated automatically.
