Hello guys,

are there somewhere MSVC 2017 prebuild libraries? Looking here: https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/releases I can only see mingw32 binaries...

P.S. Getting back here after several years... I love these 90's discussion forum, don't you dare migrate to something "modern" :-D

Use VCPKG for windows- it's easy and will help you ease a lot of hard work while working with external libraries.

There are usually NuGet packages for MSVC, not sure what happened to them. Someone like SiegeLord will come along and answer that I'm sure.

Hmmm, I thought that nuget is for C#/.NET. I wanted to try it, but I don't get how it works... It said that PM (Paskage Manager) is installed by default with VS, but I cannot seem to launch it even from VS command line.

I just fired up VS 2017 Community, and opened a solution, and it's there.

Right click on your solution and go to Manage Nuget Packages for Solution.

You should be able to browse and install allegro from there. It looks like 5.2.4 is available for download.

I use MSVC and NuGet with Allegro is very easy to install.

You can follow these steps for VS2015 here. They should be fairly similar to VS2017.
