Allegro 5 has been moved from the updates-testing repositories to the updates repositories for Fedora 13 and Fedora 14! It's also been submitted for Fedora 15 so it should be in there before long (if not before release then shortly after, I'm guessing) and Fedora 15.

Installation Instructions

1. Do either one of the following depending on your preference:
   

   • Install using the Add/Remove Software application:
     

     1. Start the application (System > Administration > Add/Remove Software).

     2. Type "allegro5" (without the quotes) into the search box and click Find.

     3. Check off the packages that you wish to have installed.

        {"name":"603935","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/a\/fa3ca30e2df968f9cc5214e21947fcfa.png","w":1400,"h":1000,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/a\/fa3ca30e2df968f9cc5214e21947fcfa"}
        

     4. Click Apply to install them.

     5. If the system prompts you for root privileges (it will unless you're doing something wrong and logging into Gnome as root) then enter the root password and click Authenticate.
        {"name":"603936","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/0\/e0e1b9f8bdfb49b2bc7c87f3ac113ec0.png","w":407,"h":360,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/0\/e0e1b9f8bdfb49b2bc7c87f3ac113ec0"}
        

   • Or install from the command line:
     

     1. Open your favorite virtual/pseudo-terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2 or Applications > System Tools > Terminal).

     2. Execute "yum install <pkgname>..." (without the quotes) as root^[1] where "<pkgname>..." corresponds to one or more of the following:
        

        • allegro5

        • allegro5-devel

        • allegro5-debuginfo

        • allegro5-addon-acodec

        • allegro5-addon-acodec-devel

        • allegro5-addon-audio

        • allegro5-addon-audio-devel

        • allegro5-addon-dialog

        • allegro5-addon-dialog-devel

        • allegro5-addon-image

        • allegro5-addon-image-devel

        • allegro5-addon-physfs

        • allegro5-addon-physfs-devel

        • allegro5-addon-ttf

        • allegro5-addon-ttf-devel

   • Any other way that you see fit (it is Linux after all).

The -devel packages are required to compile programs that use Allegro 5. The -debuginfo package should contain the debug symbols for more useful output in case of a crash. The other packages are the runtimes for the core library and the addons (required to run Allegro 5 programs). If you have any trouble let me know or file a bug report.

You're welcome.

Nice! Congratulations.

I'm thinking to start using Fedora to compile my game (and learn). But what about the recent versions of Allegro that are going to be released?, I saw that it took you time and effort to get Allegro there. It's too difficult to update releases of Allegro?.

I don't know how the system works.

Nice! I hope your tutorial don't have some kind of copyright since is now on the Wiki
