You should have read the documentation for allegro more carefully. Allegro
is distributed in source form so you must build it first before trying to
build programs that use it. To do this cd to your djgpp\allegro directory
and type "make all" (no quotes) and press enter. This should build
everything including all the example programs. Be patient because it can
take more than 5 minutes to complete as allegro is a large library.
