What version? 3.9.31 is the current version.
  http://www.sunsite.auc.dk/allegro/wip.html

1. RTFM.
  readme.1st
  faq\*.*
  online docs in rhide
  allegro\readme.txt
  allegro\readme.dj

2. Try to compile a noddy program.
  edit hello.c
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main(void) { puts("hello"); return 0; }
  gcc hello.c -o hello.exe
  .\hello

3. Build and install Allegro.
  cd allegro
  make
  make install

4. RTFM again.
  allegro\allegro.txt
  allegro\examples\*.c

When you make an Allegro program in RHIDE, put alleg in the
Options > Libraries dialog and check the box next to it.
