no Dinput.lib (msvs2008) http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/594676 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Tue, 08 Jan 2008 00:59:43 +0000

according to the setup instruction from the allegro wiki for static linking
i have to include:

alleg_s.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib ole32.lib dinput.lib ddraw.lib dxguid.lib winmm.lib dsound.lib

some of the files were missing because i didn't had DirextX SDK

however after downloading the DirextX SDK (dxsdk_november2007.exe) there is still 1 file missing: dinput.lib

what do i need to do to get static linking to work? ???

MS removed some libs from recent DXSDK. Use dx70_min.zip from http://www.liballeg.org/wip.html

solves the problem of the missing files i now get 21 errors :(

Any ideas on how to solve them?

Are you linking with alleg_s_crt.lib? alleg_s.lib wants msvcr80.dll, so you can't combine that with libcmt.lib.

I don't now

I'm following the instructions from the allegro wiki
http://wiki.allegro.cc/Visual_C%2B%2B_Express_2005

alleg_s.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib ole32.lib dinput.lib ddraw.lib dxguid.lib winmm.lib dsound.lib

are the only libraries under additional dependencies

after some testing:

Static Release the file doesn't work on different pc's

Static Release, Static Runtime the errors

You you are using "Static Release, Static Runtime" then you have to link against alleg_s_crt.lib. And set a option in C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library to (MT).

I'm using the MT option (its the different between he Static Release and Static Release options)

and what do you mean with:
then you have to link against alleg_s_crt.lib

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (RSwar01) Tue, 08 Jan 2008 00:49:09 +0000

Replace this:
alleg_s.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib ole32.lib dinput.lib ddraw.lib dxguid.lib winmm.lib dsound.lib

with this:
alleg_s_crt.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib ole32.lib dinput.lib ddraw.lib dxguid.lib winmm.lib dsound.lib
