MSVC Project Generator

Prerequisites

  1. It is assumed that Visual C++ is installed and that you know how to use it.
  2. It is assumed that you have downloaded the binary files and unzipped them somewhere on your file system. The generated template will not work if you built Allegro yourself and are using the standard library names.

If any of the above assumptions are not valid, please come back when they are!

Setting the AllegroInstallDir environment variable

While not required, it is recommended to set the AllegroInstallDir environment variable. You should set this to the folder that contains the unzipped binary distribution. For example, if you have the folders c:\allegro\bin, c:\allegro\include, and c:\allegro\lib, then the value for AllegroInstallDir should be c:\allegro\. The trailing slash is important.

If you set up the environment variable as described above, do not change this. Otherwise enter a full path with a trailing slash.
