Here's what you need to do for KDevelop.  Go to your project directory, 
go to the source (my directory for the source is named after the 
project, which I found strange) and go past the end block of the 
"kdevelop will overwrite this part!!!"  Then, put something like this:

LDFLAGS = `allegro-config --libs`

Be sure you use the ` (mine is above the tab key), and not the regulat 
apostrophe (').  This way, your program will compile with Allegro and 
you don't have to mess with it anymore.  allegro-config --libs outputs 
all the needed compiler library info, and the `` pastes it right into 
the command when it compiles.  If you try to put that through KDE, it 
will try to compile the test program during configure with it, and will 
result in error, as it doesn't have an END_OF_MAIN().  Someone should 
keep this info on Allegro and KDevelop, heh.  :-)
