To build Allegro, you should simply go to the Allegro directory (wherever 
you put it) and type `make', on its own, with no parameters. If this gives
file not found, you need to download mak375b.zip from your distribution 
site and unzip this with the -d parameter into your D:\DJGPP directory.

The reason you can't link in the alleg library is that you haven't 
successfully built it yet - you have to get make to finish its job first.

Note that to compile Allegro you also need all the C++ development tools,
because some of the utility programs are written in C++.

You AUTOEXEC.BAT looks fine to me.
