How to export allegro project properly

I've been working on a school project using codeblocks and Allegro 4 on windows (mingw).

I'm wondering how to properly extract my project as an executable that works without any issues, without using Codeblocks. Do i need to do anything specific with alleg44.dll? (it's installed on my computer, not in the project file).

You'll need to package all resources the program uses together with it.

As for linking, you can link dynamically, and include the dlls with the program, or you can link statically, and they will be included inside the executable.

If you link statically, here is the list of libraries you need to link :


-static
-lalleggl
-ljpgalleg
-lloadpng
-llogg
-lalleg
-lvorbis
-lvorbisenc
-lvorbisfile
-logg
-lpng16
-lzlibstatic

-lkernel32
-luser32
-lgdi32
-lcomdlg32
-lole32
-ldinput
-lddraw
-ldxguid
-lwinmm
-ldsound

-static-libstdc++
-static-libgcc

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running
