Does Allegro 5 depends upon platform specific code in any way, does any of the library extension of Allegro 5 uses Win32 API. like File system.

If I only use Allegro primitives and keyboard, mouse then will it use Win32?

So, is there a way that I can use Allegro 5 without using Win32?

Dependency on Win32 is the least of your worries my friend

That's scary because if I want to make an application or I want to contribute to a library which is using graphics or I/O interface calls then I'll have to learn Win32 API, and we all know how successful is Win32 in making plausible applications. Win32 has only one buffer for every event and its Naming conventions hurt my eyes.

I don't want to learn Win32, I wanted a workaround but I guess there are none.

So your alternatives are Linux and C, or OSX and objective C, or Java and Android, or objective C and iOS, or windows and Win32.

These platform specific libraries, are the ONLY way to interface with that particular OS. On Linux you use X and X11. On OSX you used to use Cocoa, now Metal, or something. On Windows you use Win32.

Now the point everyone is trying to make is that none of that matters! Because Allegro abstracts it away for you. You can use as much or as little of the interface allegro provides for you. But if you wanted to write a windows program without win32 or another library that uses win32 for you, then you're sorely out of luck.

This isn't even true for graphics. Unless you're using GDI, which is silly, because allegro does it for you, or OpenGL, or DirectX. You don't have to touch any of that stuff.
