Hi,
I don't know if this will help you, but I recently tried to do the same
and I recollect very similar errors even though I knew the allegro
libraries were installed. The fix in the end was to install the
build-essential package which for some reason doesn't seem to be
included in the Mint 17 distro (well not in mine anyway).
/sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential/
In my efforts to get the compilation to work previously, I had been
trying all sorts of commands (aclocal etc.) and I was concerned that I
might have corrupted the download of rpcemu. So to be on the safe side,
I threw away my old copy, downloaded a clean tar.gz from
www.marutan.net, and unzipped it, so that I knew I had a copy as the
distributors intended it to be.
Once I'd done that I just configured the package and compile/linked it
using simply:
/./configure --enable-dynarec//
//make//
/
And it worked without a problem.
Hope that helps
Cheers
Tony

Not here it doesn't, that's what I first tried on my newly minted Mint.
Here's what I got:
./configure: line 4634: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 4634: ` AM_PATH_ALLEGRO(, , as_fn_error $? "building
RPCemu requires Allegro to be installed" "$LINENO" 5)'
So I tried the lengthier, "largely deprecated", instructions at
www.riscos.info/index.php/RPCEmu_Linux_Guide and I got the same error as
you at the same point:
macro 'AM_PATH_ALLEGRO' not found in library
I googled that, as a result I moved allegro.m4 and there was more
progress - make started well, but then exited as belowr:
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing
from command line
This had happened exactly the same on Mint 16 so I went to the solution
for that (thank you Kai), which you see below and which was successful.
With the benefit of hindsight it seems that I've gone the long way round
and that if I went back, copied allegro.m4 to the alternate location and
then followed the simple two step process all would have been well, but
had I not gone the long way round I wouldn't have had the error to
google which fixed it for me.
It is odd that even on a fresh install of the same OS there are
differences which makes what works for one installation fail for
another, maybe it is in some way related to hardware? - the DSO missing
error, which is relatively common according to google, occurred when
trying to compile RPCEmu on both my installs of Mint (on the same
laptop) but not on yours - or most other folks', it seems.
As far as I'm concerned, all's well that ends well and it's even better
if I've learned a little in the process.

4. Opened a terminal and issued the following commands - I know these
shouldn't all be required, but it's what worked for me, eventually, as
neither the deprecated nor the latest instructions on marutan.net worked.
I'm thinking make clean won't be required for you, since it will all
hopefully work first time.
cd rpcemu/src/
aclocal
automake
autoconf
make clean
LIBS="-lm -lpthread" ./configure --enable-dynarec
make
Being unable to understand why I can build rpcemu on Mint 17 without the
slightest bother, whereas others are not so lucky I gave the above a try
with a newly unzipped source on a Mint 17 that already has a successfully
built rpcemu on it, that is the dependencies are already present and
correct. I did not get very far!
pittdj@pittdj-VirtualBox ~ $ cd rpcemu2/src
pittdj@pittdj-VirtualBox ~/rpcemu2/src $ aclocal
configure.ac:96: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_ALLEGRO' not found in library
pittdj@pittdj-VirtualBox ~/rpcemu2/src $
Take 3.

pittdj@pittdj-VirtualBox ~/rpcemu3/src $ ./configure -enable--dynarec
pittdj@pittdj-VirtualBox ~/rpcemu3/src $ make
Build completes.
