Sorry for new thread, however I was not able to post a reply to my original thread (which I would have like to have done).\ OS: Windows 7 64bit Okay I got my cmake up and going, however I'm a few issues. Essentially, it is making the framework of allegro (folders etc...), but they are empty (lib, include, etc...) . There is a "CMAKE" folder in c:/path to allegro folder/build which contains various new files. Here is the result of running the "CMAKE_INSTALL" file: Using MINGDIR: C:/mingw This is my first time attempting something like this, so I really appreciate any advice. Thanks |

Hey Sean, Anyway, as it seems I really don't think you're interested in BUILDING Allegro (given you are clueless about it) but in INSTALLING the pre-built binaries which can be found here For convenience you can follow another good tutorial for it. Just care that, for instance, Code::Blocks is NOT a compiler but an IDE Hope this helps Pk. It is unlikely that Google shares your distaste for capitalism. - Derezo |

Pk, First off, thanks for the reply. Sorry for my mix-up. The compiler that came with code::blocks is TDM-Mingw 4.4.1 . I do not see a pre-compiled binary for that particular compiler (unless the 4.6 tdm would be reverse compatible). I had downloaded the latest Mingw, in hopes to acquire binaries and rearrange C::B for it, however there are no binaries listed for mingw 5.1 either. I guess that is why I assumed I had to build Allegro from source, which would be my first time building anything from source. I do not mind putting in the work "make" Allegro, I was just having a hard time finding a procedure that was written for someone of my, for lack of a better phrase, "skill level". Someone from the code::blocks forum pointed me towards Windows 7, 5.1 build, which seem to be exactly what I was looking for. I will just try the walkthrough you have provided and see if I cannot atleast get that going, although I would like to try to build allegro because I can only gain more knowledge by actively pursuing it. Thanks in advance, OS: Windows 7 64bit |

Hey Sean, You can then switch to GCC 4.7.1-tdm from Tdragon site, I've just built code::blocks with it, it's a bit slower than 4.6's but works pretty fine and Mical provided the precompiled binaries for 4.7.0 (should be compatible) You can find those here: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/611248/969351#target Anyway building Allegro is at all possible , with AMCerasoli Tutorial on the wiki it's even (idaresay) "easy". Have fun PS: It is unlikely that Google shares your distaste for capitalism. - Derezo |

Just note that if you're following the wiki guide, ignore the part about CG Toolkit-bin as it is NOT needed for Allegro. I also find that once you have the dependencies built, it's easier to run cmake form the command line than using the GUI. Especially as you need to run mingw32-make from the command line anyway.
