Exactly what did you do, and exactly what are the error messages?
I can't guess what you did wrong, unless you give some more info...

As described in allegro.txt. But generally, I don't think you should
bother. Where you don't use a whole area of functionality, that already
isn't included, and removing specifc drivers will only give tiny savings,
along with preventing your program from working on machines that might
actually need those drivers. A 300k executable is a typical overhead
for an Allegro program, and nothing that you need to worry about.
In this age of large hard drives and multi-megabyte memory, it is
much more interesting to optimise for speed and features rather than
worrying about the size of the code.
