This is probably something simple. I installed and set up Allegro 5, following the wiki guide, on Code::Blocks 10.5 and tried a simple program to test.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "allegro5/allegro.h"
int main()
{
al_init();
std::cout << "Allegro version " << al_get_allegro_version << std::endl;
//textout_ex("Press any key...\n");
//getch();
return 0;
}
When building, I get the following errors:

I took a cusory look at the allegro5\platform folder, there is no alplatf.h file, but an alplatfh.cmake file. Did I miss a step in the instructions?
