because almgw32.h get processed BEFORE windef.h, and so, the redefinition
is done in the mingw32 header, no in the allegro header, so what the
preprocessor does is:
#ifndef HMONITOR_DECLARED // since we have NOT declared it yet, we cotinue
#define HMONITOR_DECLARED // ok, now HMONITOR_DECLARED is defined
#endif
and then, after almgw32.h comes the included windef.h, that does, directly
without checking
#define HMONITOR_DECLARED 1 // warning! warning! redefinition!
that's why
another possible solution could be to include <windef.h> or <windows.h>
before that allegro check
since if we dont do that, allegro will be defining his own HMONITOR_DECLARED
all the time, i think the last proposed fix is the better
