There are basically two methods I've used that work.
One, grab Bernhard Tschirren's Allegro driver for Mesa 3.0, or I've
patched it up to work with 3.2. It compiles cleanly, and has a partial
GLUT port, but is not 100% complete.

The other is to use the configure script provided, (you'll need bash,
sh-utils, file-utils (compiled with DJGPP 2.03), sed, gcc-2.95.2, bnu-
2.95.1 and djdev-2.03) which will compile the library with the default
OS (Off-screen renderer) which can then be used with Allegro, or any
graphics lib you are familiar with. One big drawback with regard to the
example programs is that there is simply no GLUT available for this
driver. But of course that's only important if you need GLUT.

Both options will create software only renderers, and will be much
slower than hardware accelerated libraries of course.

Berhard's 3.0 driver: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/7259/
My fixup for 3.2: http://www.geocities.com/gk_2345/main-index.html

Good luck.
