hello,
I'm french and new to allegro.
I would want to install allegro on linux.
I've downloaded the precompiled linux version (rpm), installed it.
But when i'm compiling with gcc :
gcc myfile.c -o myprogram `allegro-config --libs`

all the functions specific to allegro comes with errors (undeclared ientifier), like I didn't installed the library.
What's the problem.?
If you need more details to help me just ask...
raph

maybe you've simply forgot to #include <allegro.h>???

I didn't forgot #include <allegro.h> neither END_OF_MAIN(); (i've checked, and also my source compils well on windows with dev-c++)
here is my errors typing gcc kpong.cpp -o kponglinux `allegro--config -lib` :

... and so on.
also, i have : bash : allegro--config : command not found

and typping : gcc kpong.cpp -o kponglinux -lalleg
i have : /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lalleg
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've just install the rpm package..

I've solved the problem : I with typing allegro--config instead of allegro-config !
what a stupid problem.
Thank you all for having answered me

but, my programs are running slower on linux ! (compared to windows)

but now it is fixed..8-):D
