Windows vista, allegro 4.2.2 (although I see 4.2.3 is out??), code::blocks 10.05, mingw-get-inst-20100909 (the one with the blue logo that has sys written on it) I got the stupid idea to update code::blocks to it's latest release (10.05). Starting out with installing codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe that I downloaded today. I went over it a couple of times getting an error when I did this every time: Quote: FIX.BAT mingw The error occured running MINGW32-MAKE.EXE was in summary: As I have made this work before, my environment vars should be ok, although I did try and change: (and probably messed something up really good doing so) I followed all links on the page from the allegro wiki, so every file should be OK. Installing MinGW I clicked these checkboxes: (and also tried without and with just c++ compiler) I don't have a clue what I'm doing Help appreciated (again). Thank you very very much. |

Thank you for your quick reply. Is there an official installation guide that covers this version? (and works) |

Would it help to install code:blocks first, and then just use/import function for devpaks to install allegro 4.4.1? Sorry I can't help more as I am still a dev-cpp user, and haven't made the plunge into a "modern" IDE like code:blocks yet... www.justanotherturn.com |

Fair enough. Also, I still need to tell Code::Blocks what compiler to use, so it wouldn't solve everything. |

You need the dev-pack plugin, and it is not installed by default, I can't work out where you would get it from. Here are some instructions for installing code::blocks, mingw and 4.2.2 which should put you in the right direction. You don't really need to compile allegro from source though, you could grab a binary from http://www.allegro.cc/files/ To set the location of MinGW you want to go Pull Down Menu->Settings->Compiler and debugger... Then go to the "Toolchain Executables" tab, and you can Auto-Detect there, if that fails you will have to browse and select the directory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

Do you not just have the library files, all you've done is updated the IDE. Failing that, just get one of the pre-built binaries (if there is one). Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I just downloaded the nightly build and exported the devpack plugin, it doesnt work with 8.02 (I just realised how old a version of Code::Blocks I am using. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

It works now I think. Great that you don't have to set linker settings to use Allegro in 10.05. Thanks people. |

) I have attached the plugin install package. As it may work with the current stable version.
