I've installed allegro many times, and used it to make many games. this time, I get a streange problem after installing it on my laptop. The lib compiles fine with no complaints.
I have dev-cpp 4.9.9.2 and allegro 4.20. on win xp sp2, on a laptop (800mhz, 256 mb ram)
I tried to recompile some games i made, but for somne reason, i got some wierd errors. So, I tried to run this test program to help me figure out the problem:
| 1 | #include <allegro.h> |
| 2 | #include <stdio.h> |
| 3 | |
| 4 | int main(int argc, char** argv) |
| 5 | { |
| 6 | allegro_init(); |
| 7 | |
| 8 | // we are going to use 640x480 graphics mode |
| 9 | set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0); |
| 10 | |
| 11 | // install timer, mouse and keyboard |
| 12 | install_timer(); |
| 13 | install_mouse(); |
| 14 | install_keyboard(); |
| 15 | |
| 16 | clear(screen); |
| 17 | |
| 18 | // display the mouse |
| 19 | show_mouse(screen); |
| 20 | |
| 21 | exit(0); // succesfully exit |
| 22 | } |
| 23 | END_OF_MAIN(); |
and i just like with my games, teh test program gives me errors:

ive never seen this problem before, what does this mean?
thanx.
]]>Other people have had this problem, although there's never been a clear solution.
It would seem that Dev-C++ is not installed correctly. Perhaps you have mismatched components.
]]>Wasn't/isn't the easiest solution to delete Dev-C++'s mingw, and install your own?
]]>thanks for the help guys. After reading the other threads, I did what others did...installed dev-cpp4. It then worked. I didn't like the IDE, so i installed dev-cpp5 (4.9.9.2 or something) on top of it without installing the compilers. So now i have dev-cpp 5 IDe with the working version of dev-cpp 4 and allegro.
