There is a way to add that path permanently to MSVC. Somewhere in (non project) 
settings... Tool -> Settings, sometihng like that...

I guess that cmake didn't detect D3D and ALLEGRO_CFG_D3D is not #defined in 
include/allegro5/platform/alplatf.h.

I had to add DXSDK's include and lib dirs to INCLUDE and LIB env. variables. 
Also added DXSDK\Utilities\Bin to %PATH%. Did similar with PlatformSDK.

I'm not sure if it's even supposed to build if it doesn't detect DXSDK.
