Dev-C++ compile error - [Build Error] http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/589186 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Wed, 20 Dec 2006 07:49:12 +0000

This problem is fixed, it was just a little problem with the .exe it was creating.

When I try to compile my code, I get this compile error:

M:\Programming\SandmansDream\Makefile.win [Build Error] [SandmansDream.exe] Error 1

Try installing the timer: 

install_timer();

The manual under show_mouse() says:

The Manual said:

This will only work if the timer module has been installed.

The manual also says under install_timer()

The Manual said:

You must do this before installing any user timer routines, and also before displaying a mouse pointer, playing FLI animations or MIDI music, and using any of the GUI routines.

And also you can do this:
#include <allegro.h>
instead of:
#include "allegro.h"

I hope that fixes it.

Thanks, but I'm afraid it didn't work. :'(

I tried what you said, but I still get the same compile errors.

EDIT: Hmm... there were some files in the project folder that I lost permissions to... tried to fix, couldn't, so I renamed them. Now it works! :P
