Hi !

I would like to compile my program on an UNIX distrib in static mode.
So I start to make a basic program, initializing and destroying all addons and displaying a single picture.

But the compilation doesn't work when I try to use the addons functions.

Did I miss something ?

Here is some information that may help you:

And some additional version information:

I am sure I am wrong, but where ?

EDIT:

Happy new Year !!

Hi GullRaDriel,

thank for your quick reply.

I also try your solution, but unfortunately it seems doesn't work

First, notice that I remove "allegro_dialog-5", seems it's not available for my operating system.

I set a LIB var as requested in my Makefile, but nothing.
You seems right, I try the command directly in my shell, and the output give me:
-I/usr/local/include

Inside this directory, I have a allegro5 directory containing:
ls usr/local/include/allegro5
alcompat.h allegro_primitives.h color.h fullscreen_mode.h path.h
allegro5.h allegro_ttf.h config.h haptic.h platform
allegro_acodec.h allegro_video.h cpu.h inline render_state.h
allegro_audio.h allegro_x.h debug.h internal shader.h
allegro_color.h altime.h display.h joystick.h system.h
allegro_direct3d.h base.h drawing.h keyboard.h threads.h
allegro_font.h bitmap_draw.h error.h keycodes.h timer.h
allegro.h bitmap.h events.h memory.h tls.h
allegro_image.h bitmap_io.h file.h monitor.h touch_input.h
allegro_memfile.h bitmap_lock.h fixed.h mouse_cursor.h transformations.h
allegro_opengl.h blender.h fmaths.h mouse.h utf8.h
allegro_physfs.h clipboard.h fshook.h opengl

Unfortunately, always the same output as above when compiling.
Seems all about headers is okay, it's the linking that is the problem.

Any idea ?

Ok, I found why (maybe also because I am a bit stupid ). I used ADDONS, this means that when I compiled allegro, some flags were missing.

So, If you want to use allegro with all addons, you must correctly configure cmake.

First:
Download allegro and go to the parent directory.

Second:
Configure allegro with cmake with this command line:
DYNAMIC :
cmake -DWANT_STATIC_RUNTIME=on -DWANT_OPENGL=1 -DWANT_FONT=1 -DWANT_AUDIO=1 -DWANT_IMAGE=1 -DWANT_IMAGE_JPG=1 -DWANT_IMAGE_PNG=1 -DWANT_TTF=1 -DWANT_COLOR=1 -DWANT_MEMFILE=1 -DWANT_PHYSFS=1 -DWANT_PRIMITIVES=1 -DWANT_NATIVE_DIALOG=1 -DWANT_VIDEO=1 -DWANT_MONOLITH=1 -DWANT_X11=1 -DWANT_FLAC=1 -DWANT_ACODEC_DYNAMIC_LOAD=1 -DWANT_VORBIS=1 -DWANT_TREMOR=1 -DWANT_OPUS=1 -DWANT_MODAUDIO=1 -DWANT_OPENAL=1 allegro-5.2.2.0/
STATIC :
cmake -DWANT_STATIC_RUNTIME=on -DWANT_OPENGL=1 -DWANT_FONT=1 -DWANT_AUDIO=1 -DWANT_IMAGE=1 -DWANT_IMAGE_JPG=1 -DWANT_IMAGE_PNG=1 -DWANT_TTF=1 -DWANT_COLOR=1 -DWANT_MEMFILE=1 -DWANT_PHYSFS=1 -DWANT_PRIMITIVES=1 -DWANT_NATIVE_DIALOG=1 -DWANT_VIDEO=1 -DWANT_MONOLITH=1 -DWANT_X11=1 -DWANT_FLAC=1 -DWANT_ACODEC_DYNAMIC_LOAD=1 -DWANT_VORBIS=1 -DWANT_TREMOR=1 -DWANT_OPUS=1 -DWANT_MODAUDIO=1 -DWANT_OPENAL=1 -DSHARED=0 allegro-5.2.2.0/
Note : I think some flags are useless or deprecated, but I don't know which one so I set them all ;D

Third:
Compile and install:
$> make
$> sudo make install
$> sudo ldconfig

Third (bis):
Note: Only for static use, ONLY.
Copy the lib/pkgconfig/allegro_*-static-5.pc into same directory of your Makefile, like:
cp ~/Downloads/allegro-5.2.2/lib/pkgconfig/* my/project/directory
OR
Set the path for pkg-config, var name is PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
You can add this line into your .bashrc or /etc/environment file:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
Note: I don't know how to set it directly into the Makefile

Four:
Create your Makefile, the output must be something like this:
DYNAMIC :
gcc -W -Wextra -Wall -Werror -Iincludes srcs/main.c srcs/file_name1.c srcs/file_name3.c srcs/file_name3.c -lallegro_monolith
STATIC :
gcc -W -Wextra -Wall -Werror -Iincludes srcs/main.c srcs/file_name1.c srcs/file_name3.c srcs/file_name3.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lallegro_monolith-static -lm -lpthread -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext -lXcursor -lXi -lXinerama -lXrandr -lGLU -lGL -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lpulse-simple -lpulse -lasound -lopenal -lFLAC -logg -lopusfile -lopus -logg -lfreetype -lz -lphysfs -ltheoradec -logg -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg
So here is mine as example:
PROGRAM_NAME = my_program_name

COMPILER = gcc

INCLUDES_DIR += includes
SOURCES_DIR += srcs

COMPILER_FLAGS += -W
COMPILER_FLAGS += -Wall
COMPILER_FLAGS += $(addprefix -I, $(INCLUDES_DIR))

SOURCES_FILES += file_name1.c
SOURCES_FILES += file_name2.c
SOURCES_FILES += file_name3.c

NAME = $(PROGRAM_NAME)
CC = $(COMPILER)
CFLAGS = $(COMPILER_FLAGS)
SRCS = $(addprefix $(SOURCES_DIR)/, $(SOURCES_FILES))
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)
DYNAMIC :
LIBS = -lallegro_monolith
STATIC :
LIBS = `pkg-config --cflags --static --libs allegro_monolith-static-5.pc`
RM = rm -f

all: $(NAME)

$(NAME): $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(LIBS) -o $(NAME)

clean:
$(RM) $(OBJS)

fclean: clean
$(RM) $(NAME)

re: fclean all

.PHONY: all clean fclean re

Five:
Enjoy

So why it's was not working before ?
It's depend from which program you compile it.
Shell : $(pkg-config ...)
Makefile: `pkg-config ...`
Note: for Makefile version, use the reverse accent on key "7" for European keyboards. For US keyboards, it's the key under the Echap Key.
