But it will only work with DJGPP (that''s a GNU C++ compiler and you can download it FOR FREE [the download takes approximately 20 MB, Allegro needs about 1,5 MB]...)
Not so - the newer Allegro source tree can be built for DOS (DJGPP), Linux (GCC), Windows (VC++, MingWin32, etc).
Recompiling your code for the different platforms is usually a fairly minor task - it should be possible to have, from one codebase, XWindows, SVGALib, DirectX, GDI, and DOS versions!
DJGPP is DJ Delorie''s DOS port of the GNU C/C++ compilers, and as such isn''t available for Linux (unless someone has back-ported it for some strange reason).
The Allegro homepage is http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro, and DJGPP''s home is http://www.delorie.com
