Hello guys,

I've just installed Allegro (with several problems I could finally solve) and wanted to try it out.
I'm using VS 2003.net where I added all Allegro include paths. I wrote a dummy program just to check if the include file were found:

#include <allegro.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
return 0;
}

It seems that the include file allegro.h can be found but I got another error:

c:\allegro\include\allegro\platform\astdint.h(30): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdint.h': No such file or directory

Where can I find this file, as far as I know it's not a C++ but a C file?
Do I have to install any other libraries to make allegro work?

Thanks and best wishes,
Manfred

I added the MinGW includes to the include search path. Now all files are found but I got another problem:

C:\Programme\MinGW\include\stdlib.h(312): error C2373: '__restrict__': Redefinition; different modifiers

I don't expect stdlib.h to contain an error. Or are the includes in MinGW different from them Allegro wants?

I tried 'fix mingw32' and using gcc what also didn't help.

When I entered 'fix msvc7 --crlf' at first the file "mspdb80.dll" wasn't found. So I downloaded it and copied it to C:\WINDOWS\systen32 and this error didn't occur anymore. But there are still other errors:

C:\allegro>fix msvc7 --crlf
Configuring Allegro for Windows/MSVC7...

Der Befehl "utod" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder

Done!

It says that my MSVCDir environment variable isn't set so i added a variable called MSVCDir to the env. vars and defined it as my VC2003.net installation directory. This didn't change anything, the error still occured.
It also says that the command "utod" is spelled incorrectly or wasn't found.

I also downloded the files stdint.h and inttypes.h. I tried the MS specific ones as well as the cross platform but neither the first nor the second worked.

I tried to complie the file using gcc but this also wasn't successful.

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Privat\Desktop>gcc Kpt8_5.cpp -o Kpt8_5.exe

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What can I do to make Allegro work:'(?
