Just type 'make' followed by a carriage return at your DOS prompt. If
you have installed djgpp correctly, everything else will happen
automatically.

If this isn't working, it's probably because your djgpp/bin directory
isn't pathed. See the djgpp readme.1st file for instructions about how
to install djgpp, and also the docs/faq.txt file from Allegro for
descriptions of some of the more common problems that I've seen people
run into...

From allegro.txt:

   - If you are using Rhide, go to the Options/Libraries menu, type 
     'alleg' into the first empty space, and make sure the box next to 
     it is checked.
