Hi guys, I have a problem with the icon. I usually use a mac, now with Catalina beta, and if I use these instructions:
the screen goes black, the icon is loaded, and the game works (I entered some cout and I see that the game below continues to run).
The nice thing is that if I run the same code in a virtual machine with ubuntu 19.04 everything works perfectly, both the icon and the drawing on the screen.
How can I deal with this apparent incompatibility problem between Allegro and MacOS?
(It has nothing to do with the fact that mac os is in beta because it has always done so)
I tried the Allegro example program ex_icon and it worked OK (on Mojave) - maybe look at the source for that and see if there's some difference between the way it does it and the way you're doing it?
https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/blob/master/examples/ex_icon.c
The examples work in the sense that they load the icon. But they don't have anything drawn on the screen, so I can't test them as they are. I modified the ex_icon.c file in this way
and behaves the same way.
That is odd because your code worked OK for me.
Using allegro 5.2.5[1]
Are you saying it never worked, even on previous versions of MacOS?
