Yes, compile Allegro using MAKE. But when you have done that, you can use RHIDE to
edit/compile programs that use Allegro; it's so much easier to debug programs with the
integrated debugger of RHIDE.
Dont forget to include 'alleg'  (NOT 'liballeg') in the list of libraries
(Options->Libraries window) and to check the checkbox next to it.
