Does allegro 5 have a built in gui library? I was looking for a easy to use native gui library but couldn't find anything. |

Oh boy, Edgar's going to love you. Allegro 5 does not have a built-in GUI library. However, you could try Edgar's EagleGUI library, which uses Allegro 5. I think it's currently Windows only.

Eagle works on Win/Linux/OSX(untested). There's nothing really platform specific in there, in fact it's as far from a native widget library as you get.

Edgar, when did you add Linux support to Eagle?

The library has been compiling on Linux for several years now.

most of the GUI library links are dead. |

So what about making my own win32 wrapper? how would I do that? is there a way to attach win32 controls to the allegro window? |

Allegro 5 will give you the handle to the window. EDIT My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline! (Missile Defense) Eagle and Allegro 5 binaries | Older Allegro 4 and 5 binaries | Allegro 5 compile guide |

Making a cross-platform GUI in C++ is never easy. And Allegro is probably not the right library for you, unless you also need some Allegro-specific functionality. Nowadays, if you want cross-platform GUI stuff, your best bet is JavaScript. But that is just my opinion. -- |

Yeah, aside from EAGLE there's also https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui but that's not native widgets either. Typically if you're running a ui in a game you're not running native widgets unless you use a web browser. You can use something like QT which is what you want. Obviously the best is web/JS but if it must run on the desktop QT is what you want. Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

I remember you posted a bounty for getting it to compile under Linux or something, but that may have been a couple of years ago now... I've been out of the loop for a while.
