I'm new to allegro and I'm trying to run this simple code 1#include <stdio.h>
2#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
3#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>
4
5int main(void)
6{
7 ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display;
8
9 if( !al_init() )
10 {
11 al_show_native_message_box( NULL, NULL, "Error", "Couldnt initialize Allegro 5", NULL, ALLEGRO_MESSAGEBOX_ERROR );
12 return -1;
13 }
14
15 display = al_create_display( 800, 600 );
16
17 if( !display )
18 {
19 al_show_native_message_box( display, " Sample Title", "Display Settings", "Display window unable to display", NULL, ALLEGRO_MESSAGEBOX_ERROR );
20 }
21
22 al_show_native_message_box( display, "Message box title", "Error", "Display window could not be shown", NULL, ALLEGRO_MESSAGEBOX_ERROR );
23
24 al_destroy_display( display );
25
26 return 0;
27}
Every time I run it I get the "Couldnt initialize Allegro 5" message box instead of "Display window could not be shown". I tried code similar to mine( as in !al_init returning true ) and i get the same problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

Did you by any chance mix up any previous installation of Allegro with the current one? This may happen if you have headers from a different version of the library installed than the library itself was built with.

I'll put 50 cents toward your next game if I am wrong. #include <allegro5/allegro.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("%0x\n%0x\n", ALLEGRO_VERSION_INT, al_get_allegro_version()); return 0; }

That means you are compiling against Allegro 5.1 headers, but are linking against Allegro 5.0. You could delete the 5.0 libraries from /usr/local/lib, although depending on what you've done to get to this point, there may be something else going on. |
