I had always thought that Allegro screwed up when I ran make.exe; until
I just tried to run a program. I don't know why Allegro outputs all that
junk when running make.exe, but it usually isn't a problem. To test,
just save this into  legtest.c file:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <allegro.h>

int main()
{
 allegro_init();

 if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0) < 0) {
  printf("Error setting the display mode.");
  allegro_exit();
  return 0;
 }

 allegro_exit();
 printf("Successful Setup!");
 return 0;
}

and then compile with this command line:

gcc legtest.c -o legtest.exe -lalleg

and if it runs (SUCCESS) you're okay, otherwise - post again.
