Um..any ideas? The guide for Visual C++ 6 doesn't seem to work here...and I'm clueless on how to proceed. Thanks! |

It works the same way basically, but you'll need to compile from source. So, get MinGW32 and install that to start off. You'll also need to edit a file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common\Bin\vsvars32.bat (The exact location may be slightly different.) You should see a variable called "MSVCDir". You'll need to adjust it and remove all spaces from the path. So, change it to look something like: C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\VC Once again, this is machine dependent. Once you do that, you need to (from a DOS prompt): > vsvars32 (may need to be in the proper directory) It should work then. |

I'm trying to install Allegro with MSVC++ .Net now, also, and am having some trouble figuring it out. I have the Allegro 4.1.4 source located in the directory, and I have installed MinGW in the directory, and I have included in the Windows XP path and I found the file "vsvars32.bat" located in the directory, and I changed the variable to At this point, I re-booted and went to the dos prompt. I followed the instructions as mentioned above, but when I enter "make all" I get the following at the DOS prompt: I must have missed something, but dunno what it is.::) Mike_Vox |

If the MinGW\Bin folder isn't in your path, you need to (after you run vsvars32.bat): SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin However, make sure you truly have an executable named "make" in your bin folder. The latest version of MinGW named it something else. |

Yeap, the latest version of MinGW they renamed it to 'mingw32-make'. Thanks for the help. Mike_Vox |

isnt it about time the allegro core team update to MSVC.net? (with backward compatibility to msvc 6.0) |

I'm even more lost now. Which files am I supposed to get? I installed http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-2.0.0-3.exe to c:\mingw Then I downloaded: http://208.247.248.26/~matthew/files/4.0.2/allegro-4.0.2-msvc.zip And extracted it with paths to: I also then got http://208.247.248.26/~matthew/files/4.0.2/allegro-4.0.2-msvcmake.zip and http://208.247.248.26/~matthew/files/4.0.2/all402.zip and extracted all those files to the same directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\allegro). Finally I run vsvars32...which doesn't seem to do anything....and then > fix msvc does not exist? I run install.bat..that seems to go fine... And how does one set a path (SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin)? Is that using the environmental variables or user variables found in winXP from the system properties? Finally...I can't find 'mingw32-make'. I've only gotten more confused I believe...not to mention I have allegro files...in a number of places now. -Tim |

msvcmake.zip is only needed if you do not have MinGW32 installed. We'll pretend you don't have it, after all it's designed to work with MSVC 6. The first thing you need to get MinGW32 working. You should be able to open a command prompt and type: make -v Neither should return an error. If they do, set up your PATH as a system environment variable, as the various docs suggest. Just add C:\MinGW\bin to the list, don't bother with %PATH%. Once that's working, we can continue on. |

This is weird. Make used to work...after modify the environmental variable, gcc -v works, but make -v no longer works. What does don't both %path% mean? Thank you for your continued help. It is appreciated. C:\Documents and Settings>gcc -v C:\Documents and Settings>make -v |

Look for a file ending in "make" in the C:\MinGW32 folder. If you don't have one, you must have accidently deleted it, and you'll have to reinstall MinGW32. Quote: What does don't both %path% mean? I left off the 'er' on 'bother'. I just meant, when you edit your PATH environment variable, you shouldn't type %PATH% literally. |

Ok. It works now. How do I proceed from here? C:\>gcc -v C:\>mingw32-make -v Report bugs to <bug-make@gnu.org>. C:\> |

If you do the above correct, you should be able to open up a command prompt and type: C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat [That path will vary - specifically the ~1 marks may be different. On my PC, it's ~1 on progra, and ~2 on MICROS.] And then echo %MSVCDir% should display the directory. |

Ok. That worked. Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] C:\Documents and Settings\Timothy>C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars3 Ok..now I did vsvars32 and that worked. C:\Documents and Settings\Timothy>vsvars32 C:\Documents and Settings\Timothy>fix msvc |

After running vsvars32.bat, type: echo %MSVCDir% It should read: C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\VC If that's all good and well, continue on by going to the /allegro directory: cd\path\to\allegro From there: fix msvc That should do it. |

Ok...echo works... C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>echo %msvcdir% I'm in my allegro directory, however fix isn't a valid comand. C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>fix I've tried reinstalling allegro...doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? |

Make sure you have the complete source edition of allegro, and not the binary copies. The source edition comes with a file called "fix.bat". |

That did the trick...I just found fix.bat in one..overwriting now..hope this works this time..I think it will! Well..actually just finished the above..doesn't work.... C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>fix msvc |

Fix.bat is there. C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>fix Usage: fix platform [--quick] Where platform is one of: bcc32, djgpp, mingw32, msvc or watcom. C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>fix msvc |

Ok...ignoring and proceeding. I get the following errors: C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>mingw32-make all Then.... C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>ming32-make installall C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro>mingw32-make installall C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\allegro> |

It couldnt find 'cl'? Thats the compiler Are you sure you ran the msvcvars batch file? It has to be run everytime you open a new command window and want to install allegro -- |
