Allegro and libcurl problem

Allegro and libcurl problem

I finally figured out how to use libcurl's simpler functions, but when I combine it with Allegro by including allegro.h I get some compiler errors.
It goes something like this:

C:\Dev-Cpp\include\windows.h:52,               from C:\Dev-Cpp\include\winsock2.h In file included from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/windows.h:52,               from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/winsock2.h

I'm including allegro.h, stdio.h, iostream, and curl.h. It fails to compile immediately after I include allegro.h. Is there some trick to getting Allegro and cURL to play nice together, or am I doing something wrong again?

Looks like libcurl is including windows.h, this conflicts with Allegro. Read the manual on Windows Specifics.

I think you need to do :

//
#include <allegro.h>
#include <winalleg.h>

#include <curl.h>
//

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
