Has anyone sucessfully compiled 5.0.11 to use with visual studio 2013? If so could you share them. I have tried and tried to compil;e them myself on windows 8.1 using msvs 2013 professional and am getting nowhere fast.

This is being worked on.

That said, the binaries for MSVC11 might work as well, as indicated by this thread: https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/615264.

Yes but those binaries are for 5.0.10 and I am using them. I was just trying to compile the newest 5.0.11 stable release.

Ah right... too many numbers, too early in the morning. As I said, we're working on providing a process for compiling Allegro dependencies so that we can start distributing official binaries (for the first time ever!).
