like i said complete beginner, but if i don't ask i won't know
nobody's born with knowledge ;-) i encourage you to ask as much as you need, and don't be ashamed to show yourself as a newbie, we've all been newbies sometime in our life, and we all had to start from the beginning.
I also encourage you to search a lot in the internet and try to do things on your own, before asking for help. That way:
1.- When asking someone, you'll show you've done your homework, and are not the lazy one who prefers asking than working a bit
2.- You will learn much more because it will be your own experience
So don't give up easily, and try as hard as you can.
With all this, i'm not saying you're no trying, just suggesting you to do so. If you are already, that's perfect
Regarding to the allegro library and gcc, i haven't installed them myself in windows, so I won't be of much help. I just suggest you first try to install gcc and leave allegro for later.
After reading a little bit, i guess you downloaded mingw (minimal gnu for windows) which seems to come with gcc (haven't tried it myself), and i guess it's just a bunch of file you'll have to copy anywhere in your system, and modify some environment variables to get it working, but with no much difficult stuff to do.
Once you've played around with gcc a bit and understood how programming languages work and how compilers work, then you should move on and try using a library, but first things first.
Be a C language master! and things will come easily ;-)
good luck!
