I have exactly the same problem, only not with Allegro but with a Serial
Port library that I got from x2ftp.oulu.fi. It is written by Samuel
Vincent. With the makefile included with the library a lib**.a file was
created. I put this in the LIB directory and put the name of the file in
the Library section of rhide. I did exactly the same with the Allegro
library (liballeg.a). Now on linking my Allegro function do fine but the
Serial Port function all give this error message (undefined refference). I
tried many things, among which including the Serial Port source code (which
was also included) directly in my project. To no effect! What is my
mistake?

many thanks,
