You don't cast your int, you convert it.

#include <sstream>
#include <ostream>

....

std:stringstream s;
s << my_int;
textout_ex(..., s.str().c_str(), ...);

or, if the allegro textout_ex function barfs due to something about
"const", try:

#include <vector>
#include <sstream>
#include <ostream>

....

std:stringstream s;
s << my_int;
std::vector<char> v(s.str().begin(), s.str().end());
v.push_back('\0');
textout_ex(..., &v[0], ...); // &v[0] is okay because v.size() >= 1
