You don't need to recompile allegro to use it with your programs. 
Allegro should come with the file 'liballeg.a' which you should place in
the \lib directory of your DJGPP installation.  It should also include
the necessary header files.  Like the library, you can install them in
your \include directory, but it is preferable to simply modify the
C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to put the allegro include
directory on the end.  Then just #include the allegro headers like any
other headers and link liballeg.a when you compile.  RHIDE has options
to do these things automatically.

Rebuilding allegro is only necessary if you need to change some part of
it for some reason.
