ok, not long ago my compiler went all wacky on me.. so I deleted the MinGW32 directory and after reinstalling it still didn't work.. so I deleted it again, and then deleted the Allegro directory..

after installing the latest builds of both, I went to compile a program (ZPong) and got this:

 297mingw32-make: *** [zPong.exe] Error 1

now, when I compile a program that I just wrote that blits a nice little circle to the screen.. it works wonderfully..

am I going to have to code ZPong again?
if so.. it will be better and bug free.. (not that anyone cares)
but.. the code would be very similar.. the drawing code would be exactly the same.. why doesn't it work?

should I compile it against the debug version of Allegro? (oh yeah, thats the first step isn't it.. whoops)

thanks for any help that I get.

Use codebox please :)

no-reply@allegro.cc (spellcaster) — Mon, 13 Jan 2003 19:21:07 +0000

You could try to show us parts of the code causing the problems.
Then we could have a look at it.

Seems like your includes are messed up in your pong... I guess you're doing something strange there, if a "normal" program works fine.

no-reply@allegro.cc (Bob) — Mon, 13 Jan 2003 21:53:09 +0000

If you are including windows.h, you should include winalleg.h instead. If you are using Mingw 2.0.0, then you consult the FAQ. It's an issue with Mingw which will be resolved on the next release of Mingw. The FAQ states a temporary workaround for the problem.

no-reply@allegro.cc (JaTeR) — Mon, 13 Jan 2003 22:20:09 +0000

tresker: erm.. I did.

bob: hmm.. no windows.h ... ahh yes! MinGW 2 is what i'm using... /me consults FAQ..

Quote:

If your program only includes header files of the C++ standard library, you're very likely trying to compile it with gcc 3.x for Mingw32; if so, define the symbol __GTHREAD_HIDE_WIN32API on the compiler command line:

g++ -D__GTHREAD_HIDE_WIN32API program.cpp -lalleg

erm. question! am I supposed to run this every time I compile? do I add "-D__GTHREAD_HIDE_WIN32API" to my makefile?

/me goes to try..

sc: will post codey stuff if Bob's solution doesn't work (highly doubtful. )

Thank You All For You Help!

[edit]
ok, got it working by add "-D__GTHREAD_HIDE_WIN32API"
to the makefile
thanks Bob! /me pledges to read the FAQ before asking any more questions.
