In Windows, open a DOS box and go to the directory where Allegro is and just
type make and hit enter.  Make will use the makefile supplied with Allegro to
compile it.  It will take a little while but Allegro is a really good library.
There are some more detailed instructions in the Allegro readme.txt file.  You
need to check them out if you use PGCC.  Ask if you still need help.
To use the gcc foo.c -o foo.exe -lalleg command, type it in a DOS box or make a
batch file to easily compile the program by double clicking on the batch file's
icon in Windows.
The content of a such batch file would be the statement that compiles the
files.  Batch files are just text files with a .bat instead of a .txt at the end
of the file name.
