for VC++ you can just download
http://www.allegro.cc/files/4.0.3/alleg ... -msvc7.zip
then copy the lib and include directories to youir Harddrives VC folder.
The above download is for VC7 if you have VC6 use
http://www.allegro.cc/files/4.0.3/alleg ... -msvc6.zip
This solved all of the can't find allegro.h errors VC was given me, so it is obviosly able to compile allegro, however I am still having some issues compiling ManaWorld, so give it a try in VC and let me know how it goes.
Thanks
P.S. All of the files technically compile, but when I build the project I have a lot of Linking Issues
Also the above link is an allegro VC binary not source, though the source is on the same site:
http://www.allegro.cc/

Yes the best reference is allegro.cc. If you don't have success compiling the library download precompiled versions of the lib and docs.
As I remember I had no problems when using MSVC++ 6.0. I compiled allegro using djgpp and everything went fine. I had many problems instead using 7.0 (I'm using precompiled version without problems)
For the link errors: I don't remember if I included the visual studio project files, or maybe you have a different version of MSVC, but usually link problems are caused because you don't properly linked libraries: allegro.lib and ws2_32.lib.
If you need help post the compiler output so I can be more precise. When you compile the mana world solution you should only get some warnings.
