Did you run make from the Allegro base directory?  This compiles Allegro
and places the library in %DJDIR%/allegro/lib/djgpp.  I don't remember
if the make file automatically copies it to %DJDIR%/lib, but that's
where liballeg.a needs to be for gcc to find it by using the -l switch. 
If it's not there, copy liballeg.a from %DJDIR%/allegro/lib/djgpp to
%DJDIR%/lib.  For example, assuming you installed the compiler under
/djgpp and installed Allegro under /djgpp/allegro:

copy /djgpp/allegro/lib/djgpp/liballeg.a /djgpp/lib

Then you should be able to link in Allegro with gcc's -l switch like
you've mentioned above.
