VS2008 LNK2019 Error :/

Recently I decided to write gui for allegro, I had choice between c and c++, so i chose c, perhaps for obvious reasons...
And this is my big problem...
I'm working on Visual Studio 2008 and when I compiling code, I get this message:

main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
"struct GUI_INPUT * __cdecl al_gui_input_create(unsigned short,unsigned short,unsigned short,unsigned short)"
(?al_gui_input_create@@YAPAUGUI_INPUT@@GGGG@Z) referenced in function _main

main.c:

You really shouldn't use al_ as a prefix for your own projects.

I take it the problem was you were compiling as c++ and not c?

Yes... than i compile as c and compiler flush me heap of errors...
Probably i give up from c, not for me these blocks :P

I wrote this before in C++ and i thought, that maybe i can write this in c... but i doubt, that i can...
