Its still being made realy so ill just put up a bit from the allegro mingw readme file...
For the MingW32 part, you will need to obtain the following distributions from the internet. Please don't unzip/install until step 5.
1) The MingW32 compiler, documentation and utilities from
http://www.mingw.org
At the time of this writing (Aug. 2000) gcc-2.95.2 is out and one
should get gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe and mingw32-docs-html.exe.
Direct links to these files are:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/gcc-2.95.2/mingw32-docs-html.exe
2) Get the latest mingw32 runtime.
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/runtime/
At time of writing this is:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/runtime/bin-msvcrt-2000-03-27.zip
3) Get the DirectX 7 libraries for mingw32. Download them from
http://sites.netscape.net/zaqhaq/directx.htm
Direct link is:
http://sites.netscape.net/zaqhaq/dxlibs.zip
4) Get the DirectX 7 header files from Microsoft. You can find a minimal
DirectX 7 SDK on the Allegro webpage.

5) Install the mingw packages from step 1. The default path to install to
is not a good name, so I recommend c:\mingw32 (the following steps
assume this is what you used). Then unzip the update from step 2 to the
same directory, overwrite old files.
6) Unzip the file from step 3 to c:\mingw32\i386-mingw32msvc\lib
Unzip the file from step 4) to c:\mingw32\i386-mingw32msvc
7) You now need to add the mingw32\bin path. The best way to do this is
to add it to autoexec.bat, if you have another compiler make sure the
mingw path is before it. This path will be added the next time you
reboot, if you want to add it now, type:
SET MINGDIR=c:\mingw32
SET GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=c:\mingw32\lib\gcc-lib\
path c:\mingw32\bin;%PATH%
ok email if u want to add anything!
