Gee, that's a really specific question.  What exactly does not work? 
Can you run make?  Does make report errors?  What errors does make
report (an exact copy preferred)?  Can you compile other C programs but
just not Allegro?  We can't read your mind here.

BTW, if you don't have make, then obviously you can't run it.  :-)  GNU
make is available from SimTel as v2gnu/mak3761b.zip.

If you can build other programs, and make is installed, then please
refer to the Allegro documentation for further information.  In
particular, there is a FAQ that answers Allegro-specific problems far
better than I can without knowing exactly what went wrong.
