This is definitely not a realistic desire.

Allegro is quite simple to build from source, compared to many other libraries and programs. Basically you extract either dx70_mgw.zip or dx80_mgw.zip (available from the Allegro download page) to your MinGW installation directory, add a Windows environment variable named "MINGDIR" that points to your MinGW installation directory, extract the Allegro source, open up a command prompt and cd to the Allegro directory, run "fix.bat mingw32", run "mingw32-make", and run "mingw32-make install".

I've never tried building Blender from source, but I imagine it's more complicated. As I posted before -- read the documentation and follow the directions.

hello
ok for everything you said. i think i should forget to use CB for everything exept coding and using precompiled libraries. thanks for the help anyway.
for blender i'm still triyng to compile it and it's really complicated. there's not much documentation (not easily available) and it require really many tools.
