Installing Allegro in Dev-C++ using their Packages

Question

I'm trying to install Allegro in Dev-C++, and rather than do it manually, I noticed the new version was in the available packages, so that'd be easier.

Here it is in the manager.

Here it is showing itself containing the header file.

And when I try to run the simplest of Allegro programs, it doesn't recognize it.

Anyone know how to fix this? Or a better way to do it? Thanks.

You need to configure your project to reference the correct libraries. MinGW does not support auto-linking, so you'll need to configure DevCPP's project file to point MinGW at the right location.
