I have the same kind of problem when using DX3. You need DX5 or better to
compile it since it has "dinput.h". If you want, I can send you privately
the DX6 include and libraries files only. Total is about 1.4MB. But once
zipped, I believe it will be quite small.
dinput.h is for direct input, I think.

If you want, reply to me privately. Anyone else wants it ??

It is at line 495 of player.c....

Once you have the DX5 or better, you can built anything you want with
Winallegro.
