I run the following commands to begin compiling Allegro, in addition to running the batch file that sets up the msvc command line environment:
> fix.bat msvc8 --msvcpaths
> make
When I run make, I get the following error after a short time of compiling:
poly3d.c
src/poly3d.c(32) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'obj/msvc/asmcapa.h': No such file or directory
make: *** [obj/msvc/alleg/poly3d.obj] Error 2
Thanks for your help.
make obj/msvc/asmcapa.h
and try again.
This is odd though... that file should be generated during the build process.
It should be made, but there's something wonky going on in the build process. I had this problem with my workstation @ work when I was trying it out. For some reason, the echo commands were failing because the quotation marks not getting processed correctly, so asmcapa.h never got created. I manually found all of the echo commands in the output and duplicated them to create asmcapa.h manually, and it worked.
Both my home machine and my workstation are XP2 SP2, but my workstation has a cygwin cross-compiler as well as mingw32. I thought maybe the cygwin sh.exe was being executed, but that's just a guess. Since I could manually build asmcapa.h, I didn't dig into it very far.

I get that a lot, depending on the exact order that I build Allegro. Certain targets do not generate it. I also get it when switching between different platforms.

Well I've just been compiling Allegro with MSYS ( I wanted to play a bit with it cuz I didn't know ho exactly it works ). So I ran msys.bat. Then typed cmd so I can run fix.bat. Exited cmd and typed mingw32-make in the sh.exe -> I got the error with asmcapa.h. Tried few times with same result. Finally I built it with pure cmd.exe ( the sh.exe was off ). So the guess is probably right. Hope this will help you
