Allegro with wxWidgets http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/586520 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Tue, 18 Jul 2006 19:14:35 +0000

Hey. I'm trying to get Allegro and wxWidgets work together in my program, but the program doesn't even compile. The error(s) I get look like this:

1245 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\wingdi.h conflicting declaration 'typedef struct tagBITMAP BITMAP'

The same problem was discussed in http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/329755/329755#target
and apparently the problem was eventually solved. Now I tried the same code with the given changes, but the error remained the same.

If I include winalleg.h the error is

203 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\wx\msw\private.h no matching function for call to `RGB::RGB(unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char)'

but apparently winalleg.h shouldn't be included.

I also read through threads
http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/495839 and
http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/585957/0

And tried to compile the code of the first one with no luck. The error was again with the BITMAP of RBG, depending on if winalleg.h was included.

Any thoughts? I'd appreciate any help whatsoever.

I can compile plain wxWidgets and Allegro programs. I use Dev-Cpp 4.9.9.2 and mingw32 3.4.2 on WinXP SP2.

You have to include allegro and winalleg before wx.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (BAF) Mon, 17 Jul 2006 20:59:30 +0000

I actually had it that way already. As I mentioned, I've tried the sources (that are supposed to work) from the other threads with no success.

Maybe I should try wxWidgets with some other library. Too bad none other that I know has easy datafile, bitmap, and sound routines and is cross platform.

I've never tried compiling a wx-allegro program before, but I've got wxWidgets installed here. If you're willing to share your code I can give it a try. Maybe I stumble upon a solution...

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (amarillion) Tue, 18 Jul 2006 00:14:44 +0000

Well, actually I haven't even made any code of my own (at least nothing I have saved), just trying to compile other peoples code for starters. Just to see if I could compile the damn thing.

This is one of the many files I've been trying to compile. It's taken from http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/495839 and written by Slazer and modified by BAF. I hope they don't mind me sharing their code (I didn't see a licence agreement, that's what I'll tell them in court.)

I know how to make both compile, just show your code and error and we'll figure it out.

[edit]
Tell us the error code you get.
[edit2]
Are you going to use it only in windows?

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Felipe Maia) Tue, 18 Jul 2006 00:49:25 +0000

What's your problem? It could be your link order. You need -lalleg then the wx stuff.

Actually, he's having problem with the definitions of BITMAPs and RGBs, I had the same problem sometime before and managed to compile it, but I lost the code.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Felipe Maia) Tue, 18 Jul 2006 01:05:52 +0000

Felipe, can you make the code in my previous post compile? The error was in the first post, but I assume you mean the whole error message. Here's the compiler log:

So there's something wrong with the RGB thingy..

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Samuli) Tue, 18 Jul 2006 01:10:51 +0000

It appears both Allegro and wxWidgets define RGB. Try this: 

#define RGB AL_RGB
#include <allegro.h>
#inlcude <winalleg.h>
#undef RGB

#include <wx stuff>

Then use AL_RGB if you ever need to use Allegro's RGB struct.

Thanks Kitty, that fixed one problem, but now it gives me following error log (actually this is exactly same error log I get if I use the code above without the line #include <winalleg.h>):

Hrm, I can't compile because I haven't got both installed, and wxWidgets is too big for me to get just to try. 

#define RGB AL_RGB

And now, you need to use AL_BITMAP to use allegro bitmaps instead of just BITMAP.

But doesn't this code:
#define RGB AL_RGB
ask the compiler to define RGB as AL_RGB? But AL_RGB doesn't exist.. so?
What am i missing? ???

It changes the RGB of allegro to AL_RGB, so it doesn't conflict with windows RGB. The problem is that both use the same name.

but when was AL_RGB defined?

It WAS not defined, it IS defined here.

Instead of all that jazz, just include winalleg.h before anything that includes windows.h

Nope Thomas, won't work well with other libraries, why you ask? Because the other libraries might use windows's BITMAP, and then they'll be using allegro's BITMAP instead.
