Ok I finally got past the cmake by shear luck and alot of guessing, but it wouldn't let me post again or edit my post so i had to make a new topic. Using Visual C++ 2005 when I try and build the whole allegro i get this error a bunch of times I think its when it builds the examples.

Add the DX include and lib folders to the search list within VC.

ummm.... search your hard drive for where a copy might be?

if you don't have it, get the direct x sdk?

I've already added the Micrsoft DirectX SDK include and lib folders in the VC++ Directories.

Include the lib/x86 folder, not the lib folder.
