Simple enough, I haven't found the guides much use along the lines of what to do next, so I must know, just how do I reprogram Allegro using this program? None of the files are confirmed to be compatible. Also, I'm supposing that to create a game USING Allegro settings, you place the custom DLL(s) in the Base folder and create the various CFG and other files around it, correct? Economy: It's just an elaborate game. If you have the will, you can win, no matter who you are, unless you're terribly disabled. |

What do you mean by reprogramming Allegro? Do you mean changing it's source code? Quote: None of the files are confirmed to be compatible. What files are supposed to be compatible with what exactly?

My god... Well, you could look through my past entries, but I'm using MinGW with a shell IDE called Code::Blocks. By guides, I mean the various readme files, which walked me through most of installing MinGW, but now I need to know how to mess around with Allegro. OR is there something I'm supposed to do to use Allegro directly? There ARE no .EXE files in the entire download. Economy: It's just an elaborate game.

Theres two options, theres a mingw binary package somewhere, but if all you want to do is use the package you got, follow the instructions in doc/build/mingw32.txt -- |

I already followed that crap. I don't remember seeing anything else there and besides, I don't like readmes, especially when I have to go to the website for information the readme SHOULD but does not have.

Followed all of the instructions properly? What parts don't you understand? -- |

It didn't say anything about modding a %Path% variable. It didn't specify directly how to set up the variables for Windows XP and left the guess work to the user, though I figured out some of it.

Allegro isn't a program , it's a software library written in C that lets you create graphical programs. You need to compile the library yourself or download a precompiled dll. Have you compiled the library or downloaded it yet? My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

I have it downloaded. C only or is it C++ compatible? C can be just as effective as C++ I hope, since the book I have for C is signifficantly SMALLER than my Visual C++ book.

Ah yes, since it didn't mention PATH in a section dedicated to your particular IDE, you decided to skip it right? Even though it may have pertinant information? Check the section on DevC++. -- |

...It had nothing to do with the IDE, it was about installing the compiler. Besides, I have virtually no interest in reading pre-written readmes that might work or MIGHT just drive me to chasing my fluffy tail.

Quote: It didn't say anything about modding a %Path% variable. That's because you need that so that MinGW works. Under the section "Setting up MinGW to build Allegro" allegro/docs/build/mingw32.txt said: 1. Make sure you have a working MinGW installation. ... 3. Set the environment variable MINGDIR to the compiler directory. If you set MINGDIR=c:\MinGW to your 'c:\autoexec.bat' file, assuming 'c:\MinGW' is the compiler
Quote: I have it downloaded. C only or is it C++ compatible? C can be just as effective as C++ I hope, since the book I have for C is signifficantly SMALLER than my Visual C++ book. C++ is a superset of C. Pretty much anything you can do in C you can do in C++. MinGW will let you compile C or C++ (mingw32-gcc.exe , mingw32-g++.exe). Did you download just the source code for Allegro or did you download the precompiled .dll files?

Quote: .It had nothing to do with the IDE, it was about installing the compiler. Did you know that you need to have the compiler installed properly to use it with allegro? Most IDEs don't install the compiler properly, they don't expect you to need to use it from the console. Go figure. -- |

That's a good one. Almost as good as the guy who tried to run a .c file from the shell (see sig for Everts response). |
