I decided to learn to program with the allegro library. I have a few questions:

1) On the websites [allegro.cc and another official one], there is a fairly large tutorial section, but they use the compiler 'DJGPP'. It seems to be a port of a unix program.
a) Is there a unix program called DJGPP or is it a port of GCC?
b) If not, where can I get it for Linux?
c) Do I need it to program in allegro (It seems not, because I have compiled programs already which were linked against the allegro library), so how can I compile these in GCC?

Well, thats it for now.

Thanks.

...as far as I know DJGPP is just a C compiler (based on gcc) for Windows. Under linux you wouldn't need it since you should already have gcc.
