Adding run-time dependencies for Allegro addons?

Question

I'm trying to use some of the Allegro addon libraries.

For instance:

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

But MSVS10 is telling me the things I'm referencing are undefined. I got the standard

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

to work just fine, and now I'm guessing I need to be adding more runtime dependencies for the addons as well. But I have no idea how to do that, nor could I find a guide/list to say what values need to be added to which value fields in the properties.

From http://alleg.sourceforge.net/a5docs/refman/primitives.html#al_draw_filled_polygon:

Since: 5.1.0

The pre-built binaries are from the 5.0 "stable" series. The 5.1 series is "development" which means things can change from version to version. Some features may make it into the 5.0 series, while most will not be around until the next stable series (5.2).

So short version is, if you want those features now, you'll need to build 5.1 yourself.
