I tried to open the guide page in http://www.allegro.cc/files/install-devcpp.html, but I coundnt open it.

I havent used allegro for months and I forgot how to install it.

my system is XP and I use dev c++

I have unzipped the all422.zip and copied all the file to d:\dev-cpp
I have added command "-lalleg" in complier option

but it still doesnt work, error msg says can not find "-lalleg"

Anyone can help me?
Thank you~!

Try the wiki page for using dev-cpp.
Setting up Dev-Cpp for Allegro

- Edit -
The url you posted was not found on the server (404 error) , was there a bad link somewhere?

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Find the "liballeg.a" file, usually under "/allegro/lib/mingw32"

I cant find liballeg.a

You can't find the library because it has not been compiled / installed yet.

You can either install a dev-pack for Allegro or you can build the library yourself.

Read the file mingw32.txt in your allegro\docs\build directory , this will tell you how to build Allegro yourself.
