I can't get Allegro 3 to build. All the
compiles work OK but when it gets to the linker
I get the error

ar: file "obj/djgp" : The system cannot find the file specified
ar: creating lib/djgpp/liballeg.a
make.exe: *** [lib/djgpp/liballeg.a] Error 1

yes thats right 'djgp' not 'djgpp'.

Ive looked through the docs and FAQ but I cant see what
I'm doing wrong.

One thing, the "ALLEGRO environment variable" is mentioned
in several places without an example of what it should be, so
Im setting it to

SET ALLEGRO=D:\ALLEGRO
(and yes, I am installing it to drive D:)

Is that right ? Is there some other setting/configuration  I'm missing ?

I've installed djgpp and compiled
a couple of progs so everything looks OK there.

TIA
