I downloaded the newest allegro 3.928(work in progress version) and tried to
install it by unzipping and running "make"...
The first problem I met was..

"Your DJGPP environment variable is not set correctly! It should
point to the djgpp.env file: see the djgpp readme.1st for details."

I found "DJDIR" definition in "makefile.dj" file.. My djgpp have been
working fine without "DJDIR" variable..
I only set "DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV".. it works also with
allegro 3.12 version.. there was no trouble in making and installing
allegro 3.12..

So.. I typed "set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\" and try to "make" again..
and I met another error message..

"Compiling Allegro for djgpp, optimised. Please wait...
gcc -DALLEGRO_SRC -Wall -Wno-unused -m486 -O3 -ffastmath
-fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I./include -o obj/djgpp/allegro/allegro.o -c
src/allegro.c
gcc.exe: sr: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
gcc.exe: No input files
MAKE.EXE: *** [obj/djgpp/allegro/allegro.o] Error 0x1"

I found the clue in "gcc.exe: sr: No such file..." that "sr" is the first
two characters of "src/allegro.c"... the long line might be cut at
right after "sr".. So.. I edited "makefile.dj" as

#ifdef WARNMODE
#WFLAGS = -Wall -W -Werror -Wno-unused
#else
#WFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-unused
#endif
WFLAGS =

in order to shorten the gcc command line with the error..
and then I tried again..
It looked working well for a while..
I met a helpless trouble again...

"ar rs lib/djgpp/liballeg.a obj/djgpp/alleg/allegro.o obj/djgpp/alleg/blit.o
...... (long long list of *.o's).... obj/djgpp/alleg/djirqs.o
d:/djgpp/bin/ar.exe: obj/d: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
MAKE.EXE: *** [lib/djgpp/liballeg.a] Error 0x1
MAKE.EXE: *** Deleting file 'lib/djgpp/liballeg.a'"

The "ar" command line must be cut at somewhere after "obj/d"...
I could not make it in that case...
It looks like the command line has some limitation in character
number.. Is there a way to extend the command line limitation?
