You should run make from the DOS command line, not from File
Manager/Explorer.  DJGPP is a DOS-based compiler.  In any case, to build
Allegro you must change to the main Allegro directory and type "make". 
Assuming your DJGPP installation is set up correctly, Allegro will build
without any further work on your part.

BTW, you need the C++ components of DJGPP to build Allegro's 'setup'
program.  If you want to skip this requirement, or don't want to install
C++ at all, you can type "make -k" to force it to skip that part of the
compilation.
