I am trying to compile Allegro 4.9.8 on Visual Studio 2005. I followed the instructions here: http://awiki.tomasu.org/index.php?title=Building_Allegro_4.9/Installing_4.9_Windows I get this error: E:\dev\allegro-4.9.8>cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" -DSTATIC=ON -DSHARED=OFF -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! I have done everything mentioned in the Wiki. Anyone got an idea what is the problem? |

Make sure your LIB and INCLUDE paths are set properly. |

Are you sure you have the DirectX SDK installed and working correctly? |

I did the procedure in another computer, and I have the same error. You are right, the lib and header files were not in the path. Now it is ok. |

I've just blatantly copied the files into the path. How do you change the environment options of the compiler for use on the command-line? Couldn't find it on MSDN... |

There is an INCLUDE and a LIB environment variable that I modified. EDIT: Apparently, the DirectX SDK include and lib directories must come before the Visual Studio include and lib directories, otherwise Allegro 4.9.8 will not compile. |
