With that project came a file called makefile that I am using to build the project. I eventually want to convert the project to a rhide project but I have some questions. 1. The makefile seems to have been generated by some program what program generates makefiles? 2. In what document can I find the meaning of the compiler switches? 3. In my first attempt at building the project in rhide I got several error messages during linking. rhide complained that there multiple definitions for the calls to Allegro functions. I added the liballeg library to the project in the options-libraries menu item. What are multiple definitions and how do I get the project to build successfully. Thank you very much for any help.
