Allegro and libcurl problem http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/597128 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:56:51 +0000

I finally figured out how to use libcurl's simpler functions, but when I combine it with Allegro by including allegro.h I get some compiler errors.
It goes something like this:

I'm including allegro.h, stdio.h, iostream, and curl.h. It fails to compile immediately after I include allegro.h. Is there some trick to getting Allegro and cURL to play nice together, or am I doing something wrong again?

Looks like libcurl is including windows.h, this conflicts with Allegro. Read the manual on Windows Specifics.

I think you need to do : 

//
#include <allegro.h>
#include <winalleg.h>

#include <curl.h>
//

It works like a charm, thank you!
