I'm getting this error while trying to compile allegro: src/poly3d.c:49: error: syntax error before string constant I've done a search but it came up with nothing and now the search won't even work anymore. I've looked at the .c file and saw nothing wrong and I've done everything else correctly so I ask for help. Thank you. |

Which allegro version, SonShadowCat?

http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/380007 Check for bad quotes in asmcapa.h. Usually due to having sh.exe in your path. |

That helped the first problem but now I get this when running make install: misc/mdhelper.sh H:/MinGW/lib H:/MinGW/include H:/MinGW/include/allegro H:/MinGW I also ran a search for that with no results. |

Remove the sh.exe / bash.exe and whatever else triggers unix tools from your path by either redoing your path or renaming the file. |

There is no sh.exe, I read that in the thread and looked for it. By my path do you mean the PATH variable in the environment? I see nothing that might cause it to be called. |

Or edit the makefile.mgw and remove these lines: ifdef CROSSCOMPILE ifdef ALLEGRO_USE_CYGWIN ifneq (,$(findstring /sh.exe,$(SHELL))) |

No difference, I'm still getting the error. |

Are you running from cmd.exe or some other shell? |

Well, I don't know why UNIX_TOOLS is still set. It looks like it's built, so you could just copy the files by hand. |

That's the error I still have...process_begin: CreateProcess( NULL, ... ) failedI've been browsin internet a bit and I've found that if the filepath where you are working is longer than 128 chars, it won't work. Anyway my filepath wasn't longer than 128 chars. So I'm doing some things through sh.exe instead of cmd.exe and I won't get CreateProcess failed. |

Huh, I fixed it. I simply found sh.exe in unxutils folder then copied it to the allegro folder and it worked. |
