[Dev-C++] allegro install problem

[jag <won...@th...>]

hi,

when i am trying to install the allegro library, for the compiler mingw32 i
come accross an error that i am unsure about the cause of.  I'm at the stage
where i have completed most of the tasks in the mingw32 help document.  At
the point where i am in MSDos mode and type 'make' i am given the following
error message:-

c:\mingw32\bin\make.exe:***no rule to make target 'src/win/gdi.c', needed by
obj/mingw32/alld_s/gdi.o'. STOP

does anyone with experience of the allegro setup and mingw32 setup have any
idea of the cause and rectification of the error?

thankyou in advance,

jag

I have no idea, but the directory 'alld_s' in the error path sounds like
you were using STATICLINK or DEBUGMODE, both of which you normally
shouldn't.
Try to go to www.allegro.cc, and ask in the forum, the people there will
know the problem.
