Hello, I've been planning to start with allegro 5, but I've met some issues, I don't know the reason of them... I did everything in this tutorial, except static linking, coz I don't really need it for now.

http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Windows,_Visual_Studio_2010_and_Allegro_5

The thing is I did everything it said and I had problems... I tried to compile this

#include <allegro.h>
int main(){
allegro_init();
allegro_exit();
return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN();

but I had a few errors... I've noticed also #include <allegro.h> wasn't being recognized... so I changed it to this:

#include <allegro5\allegro.h>
int main(){
allegro_init();
allegro_exit();
return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN();

then #include worked, but init;exit;end of main; were the issue... it says indentifer not found...I did everything they told me, please help!

PS: <allegro.h> should work right? so why it isn't? I had to make it <allegro5/allegro.h> instead...

I had these problems on VS express 2010 too

every help will be much appreciated.

damn I'm so dumb... I didn't expect it may contain different syntax... thank you so much ofc I'll stick to allegro5
