Yes I was just gonna try your suggestion in the other topic.. Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

Hey AriesNL, how's it goin? Been a while... Please link the other topic so I can refresh my mind. Do you know where the ppa installed allegro? Typically it's /usr/local/include My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

I was refering to this topic https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/618003 I attached some screenshots to illustrate what is going on.. The install path seems to be usr/include/Allegro5 How is it going.. could be a bit better.. my girlfriend was hospitalized with kidney stones.. just one dag after relocating to Renkum. But she is home again now.. Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

That's a CB project problem. Did you add /usr/local/include to the list of search directories for the compiler? And /usr/local/lib for the linker?

No, it is /usr/include/allegro5 since that is the install dir. {"name":"612296","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/d\/4d26c071d1b007abd7bcdf351c87c54b.png","w":1280,"h":1024,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/d\/4d26c071d1b007abd7bcdf351c87c54b"} As you can see from my last scteenshot.. the that headers code::blocks is missing are NOT in the Allegro5 dir Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

Then the ppa is crap. Build allegro yourself. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline! (Missile Defense) Eagle and Allegro 5 binaries | Older Allegro 4 and 5 binaries | Allegro 5 compile guide |

Got it working ! ALL addons need to be installed too ! so this "sudo apt-get install liballegro5-dev" is NOT the whole story.. This is the correct way: Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

One of the things I noticed working on Mac is how few "extra steps" are needed. I picked up a Windows laptop the other day and naturally started setting it up for building with Allegro and dgaf about anything else. Anyway, all these extra steps to add the PATH, use this terminal for A, use that terminal for B. The Windows UX is not very nice either, (partly from a lack of familiarity), but I've already run into a few annoying bugs with windows permissions screens. I would find it frustrating to spend a lot of time in there. For my concerns, I intend to drive most of my development with Mac, and have some communication protocol that drives builds and runs tests on the Windows platform. So far I've had to install MinGW through some installer I downloaded from the internet, and also Cmake as well. It feels sloppy and vulnerable to adware. With Mac it's literally brew install allegro and it works (assuming you have brew which is just an equally easy terminal command). Building from source is really easy too, which is what I'm doing now so I can be at edge. -- |
