First off, don't use ld.  Use gcc.  It adds extra stuff that you need
(use gcc -v ... to see an example)

	gcc -Ld:/djgpp/allegro/lib/djgpp/ -lliballeg -oex1.exe ex1.o

Next, list your objects *before* libraries (order matters!):

	gcc ex1.o -Ld:/djgpp/allegro/lib/djgpp/ -lliballeg -oex1.exe

Next, if the file is liballeg.a, use -lalleg:

	gcc ex1.o -Ld:/djgpp/allegro/lib/djgpp/ -lalleg -oex1.exe

You might want to move liballeg.a into d:/djgpp/lib so that you can
omit the -L option:

	gcc ex1.o -lalleg -oex1.exe

Also, put a space between the -o and the ex1.exe (it might work either
way, but the space is a safer habit):

	gcc ex1.o -lalleg -o ex1.exe
