First of all, the Allegro library if compiled without problems is
placed automatically under the \djgpp\lib dir for the liballeg.a file
and under the \djgpp\include dir for the allegro.h file.

From then on, when you compile a program wich -lalleg, the compiler
looks up in those directory for the file liballeg.a.

If you are getting errors with this, it may mean you didn't
compile/install properly Allegro or the makefile couldn't somehow copy
it to the destination dirs because you didn't configure DJGPP
correctly.

See if you have set the DJGPP environment variable in your
autoexec.bat and that the .env file points to correct dirs.

Then recompile Allegro and see if it works with the following commands
typed inside the \allegro dir.

make uninstall
make clean
make
