I just made Allegro work with my MVC (thanks to this board), confirmed by a simple black/red Hello World!
As I am learning to use it I started reading the "Vivace" tutorial (found on this site). Things went wrong with the test-program included...
#include <stdio.h>
#include <allegro.h>
int main (void)
{
allegro_init();
check_cpu();
printf("\nAllegro reports OK!\n");
printf("\nThis test was compiled with %s\n",allegro_id);
printf("Your CPU Vendor : %s\n",cpu_vendor);
return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN()
This gives me:
-------------------Configuration: test - Win32 Debug-------------------
Linking...

What's gone wrong?

Seems like he's not using rhide - search for project options and add -lalleg or c:\...\allegro\lib\msvc\liballeg.a (dont know if its msvc - im using mingw32), i also would say that it is not bad if you include winalleg.h...
