[A5] Problems with Static Linking

I haven't used allegro in a long time and thought it would be a good time to get back into it. However, I seem to be having issues static linking the libraries.

The errors I am getting are below. I've searched Google and these forums with no success.

I do hope someone can help me with this as I can't start without it.

Make sure to link in the correct order, in this case liballegro should come after liballegro_dialog. You can also compile the "monolith" version then there's only one library to link to.

Elias, You are my saviour. Thank you so much for your help.

I shall look into using the monolith one too at some point. For now I shall get onto seeing how much I can remember :)

Thank you again for the help.
