Assuming that your environment vars are set up correctly, just change to
the c:\djgpp\allegro directory, and type make.  If this doesn't work, 
then either you don't have djgpp set up correctly, or you didn't 
install make. You didn't specify whether make'ing allegro is failing, 
or if make simply refuses to run. (log into any directory, and type make, 
if it doesn't try to run, check your djgpp setup.  Specifically, make sure 
that you are setting up djgpp.env as detailed in readme.1st)

You need to add the location of allegro.h and liballeg.a to your linker
search path, and then add -lalleg to the compiler command line.

i.e. 
gcc -Ic:\djgpp\allegro\include -Ic:\djgpp\allegro\lib myprog.c -lalleg

(both of these items can be setup in the Options menu in RHIDE)
