It would help more if you could post details of exactly what you did,
what you typed, and what the error messages were. The allegro.h file
should be in the allegro directory. Why do you say it's supposed to
be in allegro/obj/djgpp?
Go to the allegro directory and type `make'. If that doesn't work,
type `redir -o output.txt -eo make', and post the result here. People
will be able to troubleshoot far more effectively with this
information.
One thing you ought to check is that you're using the djgpp port of
GNU Make, which comes from the v2gnu/mak*b.zip file. Make sure that
you have installed this package, and that no other make program occurs
in your path before this one does.
Alternatively if you add the `-d' parameter to the make commandline
and send the output directly to me I could perhaps say what was wrong
in more detail; but this output would probably be at least 500K
long. Do not post it to the newsgroup/mailing list! :)
