You are missing the OpenAL dependency. Allegro's addons need quite some dependencies to do their work (it is mentioned in the article you use).

You could get these dependencies via homebrew, for example. But then you could also just install Allegro5 itself via homebrew ("allegro" formula), without compiling yourself.

Unfortunately, the wiki does not seem to be up-to-date with this, sorry.

The wiki is open for editing. Feel free to fix it if you know what you're talking about. ;)

I still don't have a Google account and I currently don't intend to get one.
