Hi all,

First I unzipped alleg312.zip to c:\djgpp maintaining the
sub directory structure.

Then, in a DOS box (from win95) set cd to c:\djgpp and typed make
result: make.exe: *** No targets. Stop

So i figured the target must be in the allegro folder
so i set cd to c:\djgpp\allegro and typed make
result: Your environment variable is not set correctly!
        It should point to the DJGPP.ENV file: see readme

I checked the autoexe.bat to check for spelling errors
set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env and it seemed ok ...

Is there an easy answer to this or do I reread again (and again)
the documentation?

I have been using RHIDE and DJGPP successfully.

ps. My first try did result in the Borland version of make being
executed. I didn't know how to prevent this except by copying the
GNU version in c:\djgpp and c:\djgpp\allegro folders. Could this
be part of the problem?
