I recently got a new computer with Vista and I put my compiler (Dev-C++) on it and I'm having compiling errors. The error has to do with an error in the resource file. I tried changing the icon file but that didn't help. I also tried creating a new blank default program and its still saying there is an error in the resource file (which usually stores the icon data, I think).

So has anyone else had success with Vista and Dev-CPP. If not what other compilers can I use that support the allegro library.

( I sooo make HATTTTTTTTTTTEEEE!!!! make files, such a pain)

try MSVC and/or search the formus, this has been asked recently..

Thanks,

how do I get MSVC working with allegro?

I found a link to this site http://aarongiles.com/?p=199
I have done Fix #3, and I think I did Fix #1.

To do Fix #1 I when to windows advanced system setting and selecting the environmental variables tab. I didn't see the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable there so I added it to the user variables and set the value to C:\Dev-Cpp\ (Should I had it to the system variables instead?)

Now for Fix #2 in the link above, how do I edit the search path, I'm confused.

Thanks.
