Hehe... I got those HMONITOR errors as well a couple of days ago. I was about to post here to ask what was wrong, but before doing that I re-tried the whole thing. It turned out that I said:
fix.bat mingw
on the first try, instead of
fix.bat mingw32
That's all I did different. The first try simply responded, 'done', so I assumed everything was okay. In other words, I simply didn't have the allegro source prepared for mingw32... was that similar to what you did wrong?
However, I still have a different question. I built both the static linked allegro and the dynamic. The problem is that when I try to compile using the static libs, I get many linker errors. I'm using Dev-c++ and the latest allegro wip. I add the static lib to the project and I define ALLEGRO_STATICLINK before I include allegro.h. Is there anything else I need to do? Here's the messages:

I'm new to all this fancy smancy windoze compilin' an all, so any help is appreciated. I don't have to use static linking, I just thought I'd try it and compare executable sizes and stuff.
Thanks,

You don't need to #define ALLEGRO_STATIC_LINK in your source file. You do have to link the right things into your project. Go to the Project menu, select Project Options, and in the text box for "Further object files or linker options" write:
-lalleg_s -lgdi32 -ldxguid -lole32 -ldinput -lddraw -lwinmm -ldsound
And for the "extra compiler options" text box, write:
-DALLEGRO_STATICLINK
That should do it for ya.
