The games had a makefile that I attempted to use to build the game, but to no avail. It always gives me an error, such as "undefined reference to " and many different functions that allegro uses. When I try to go through Rhide to make these games and in options-libraries, I type allegro and check the box, it gives me the error saying Error 1: c:\djgpp\bin\ld.exe : cannot find -lallegro Error 2: ld returned 1 exit status I don't understand why I'm too incompetent to compile SOMEBODY ELSE'S program, and then not even my simple allegro program. The program, btw, is the raycaster from the old sizehack competition (but I've tried others and I get the same result). If anybody knows why I'm getting this error, please reply and notify me why.
