Hi, I've written a program in order to get back into the swing of things. I'm using ubuntu and haven't got a clue what I need to type into the command line I've got something like this in mind gcc -c hello_world.c -o hello_world.o but I'd like to know if this is correct apart from linker options being missing and by the way, what do I need to put as linker options on ubuntu?? 1

30 ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *q = al_create_event_queue();
31 ALLEGRO_EVENT ev;
32
33 al_register_event_source(q, al_get_keyboard_event_source());
34
35
36 do
37 {
38 al_wait_for_event(q, &ev);
39
40 } while( ev.type != ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_DOWN );
41
42 al_destroy_event_queue(q);
43
44 return 0;
45}
I'm trying to get back into programming. I want to learn about using allegro on ubuntu so I can continue programming a game I was making before juggling that and my math studies got too much and math took over.

William! Hello and welcome back again. You've been There and Back Again so it seems. Compiling for ubuntu is pretty easy. I assume you've installed allegro 5? If not, it's really as simple as this : sudo apt-get install liballegro5-dev Once that's done, you can compile right away. You need to use pkg-config, or at least understand what it is doing. g++ -Wall -g -c `pkg-config --cflags allegro-5` *.cpp g++ -Wall -o main *.o `pkg-config --libs allegro-5` And if you need to check which pkg config files are installed, here's a neat trick : pkg-config --list-all | grep allegro Those are the packages you specify when linking to allegro. And that should be all you need! My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!
