precompiled binaries allegro5: msvc / mingw

If I download the precompiled binaries, where do I leave the dll files?

In relation to this: If I create program-binaries with MSVC, and I download another program-binary that was compiled with MINGW will it run with the dll's that i have?

1. anywhere in your path
2. yes. though you may have problems with msvc executables running on other computers if they don't have the latest/correct runtime.

IIRC the DLL files should be at C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 (95/98/XP...). On some Windows "WINDOWS" must be "WINNT" instead.

No, read my point 1 above.

Generally just leave Allegro DLLs in the same folder as your executable. The various alleg42.dll files aren't 100% compatible with each other.
