hello, I'm trying install MinGW 4.6.2 for allegro, but when installing MinGW ther are 2 errors, one is "System cannot find the file specified" and "Error cleaning log file(1)". Has anyone else come across that problem before and if so how did you fix it? Any advice is appreciated.;D |

Are you using the mingw-get installer? As an alternative, I have a pre-made distribution of MinGW 5.3.0-2 that you can find here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficialmingw/files/?source=navbar My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

I'll check the link to see if it works and i'm using mingw-get-inst-20120426 [EDIT] Also does it work with allegro? |

If you have a problem with mingw-get the best place to get help is on the mingw-users mailing list. EDIT EDIT2 https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/616446/1024504#target The direct link for release 3 is here : My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

You need all the folders that come with the mingw distribution. Just extract twice and then copy the root folder into c:\mingw. Then set the path to include mingw\bin and you can compile. You will need to set the search paths for the allegro include and lib directories to compile with allegro using -I $INCLUDE_DIR and -L $LIB_DIR. Then you link to the correct allegro library using -lLIBNAME where the library is named libLIBNAME.a. MinGW is for 32 bit only, but will work on 64 bit systems. You can get MinGW-64 instead and MSYS2 instead but then you would have to use SiegeLord's binaries.
