I don't know (or don't remember). Honestly, I'm not sure Allegro was well-maintained for DOS in its later years. IIRC, at first it was only broken build scripts that prevented support, but later on they changed too much and relied too heavily on other things (OpenGL, et al). > I had no difficulty compiling it with DJGPP nor Open Watcom - for the latter, > see: > > http://matejhorvat.si/en/dos/allegwat/ I did once or twice (years ago) build with OpenWatcom, but it was more of a curiosity than anything directly useful to me: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/libs/allegro/contrib/watcom.txt And yes, even the OpenWatcom version needs some DJGPP tools to build. Not sure why DJGPP's Make would crash on you, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
