Hello. My problem is that I am having difficulty implementing Allegro. I
have just downloaded what I need from the DJGPP site (so I have all recent
versions) and have RHIDE up and running pretty as you please, compiling C++
and all. However, I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this 'make'
thing (all previous experience is with Visual C++). I do still consider
myself a newbie to C++ and can't understand some of what's in the readmes
and faqs. Can these make commands be issued in Windows? What's with commands
like:

gcc foo.c -o foo.exe -lalleg

Ideally, would someone give me baby steps as to how to build liballeg.a? I
would very much appreciate it. Thank you.


Chris.
