My Allegro 5 Template http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/603224 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:30:14 +0000

I have attached my Allegro 5 template. It basically sets up Allegro for MSVC, all the includes, the event queue, a resizable window, physfs etc.... Hopefully people who aren't familiar A5 can find this useful :-)

Looks pretty cool thanks :)

I had a look at this and think it's wrong. The only thing is I'm not sure why =/ But let me try to explain what I think I know \ found out.

You are building with /MD (Multi-threaded DLL) when it should be /MT. Now I gave up getting the static builds to work with MSVC because altough following every bit of advice and guide I could get my hands on regarding this I kept getting the same set of errors:

Every reply I read said something about making sure 'Run Time Library' was set to /MT, but obivously that didn't solve the problem.

So anyway tonight I had enough of this so I set about getting it to work. I found this guide which kind of help me understand what was going on (a very vague kind of).

So anyway the task then was to link with 'msvcrt.lib' before linking with 'libcmt.lib' which meant setting 'Ignore all default Libraries' to 'Yes (/NODEFAULTLIB)' and adding both libs to the 'Additional Dependencies' list which I expected to work. But alas it did not and I got a new set of errors:

After reading that guide and a few other bits on the net my understanding was these functions where declared in both of these libs, but obivoulsy not. So I went back to square one and turned on /verbose:lib to see the order of the linking and tried to pick out any other libs where these functions declarations might be hiding (I'm saying "function declarations" like I know what I'm talking about, I really don't). Any way I came accross 'oldnames.lib' and thought I would replace that with 'libcmt.lib' when turning on the /NODEFAULTLIB (after all the origonal problem was a confliction between msvcrt and libcmt wanting to declare the same stuff).

So after all that I finally got it to compile without any errors. But now I get a load of warnings which annoy me (listed below - warning (no pun intnded) there are lots).

I found a page here and after building it with the settings it suggested it remained the same. I now believe this is something to do with how the binaries are built rather than anything else.

There is also one more warning and I'm not sure how serious it is:

jpeg.lib(jdmarker.obj) : MSIL .netmodule or module compiled with /GL found; restarting link with /LTCG; add /LTCG to the link command line to improve linker performance
LINK : warning LNK4075: ignoring '/INCREMENTAL' due to '/LTCG' specification

But following the advice to get rid of it leads to another warning turning off something else, then another, then another etc... I don't like the jpeg library.

Sorry for the long post but I thought it was best if I explained the problem fully to the best of my knowledge.

I believe the confliction problems with 'msvcrt.lib' all start because we're linking with allegro statically, and all these warnings would vanish if the builds were released with dlls again (please someone release the dlls!).

For the mean time I'm going back to code::blocks where these problems don't exisit.

Okay I solved it and reuploaded the fixed version

I just had another look with regards to ignoring libraries and found this:

MSDN said:

Important The run-time libraries now contain directives to prevent mixing different types. You’ll receive this warning if you try to use different types or debug and non-debug versions of the run-time library in the same program. For example, if you compiled one file to use one kind of run-time library and another file to use another kind (for example, single-threaded versus multithreaded) and tried to link them, you’ll get this warning. You should compile all source files to use the same run-time library.

Which means ignoring libcmtd.lib is wrong for building with /MT. But this is getting way to confusing for me to work out because if you follow what it says in that article it wont link correctly anyway...

I'm going to try and compile the dlls later for MSVC just to see if this fixes the problem. I really would like to use MSVC, but not with 100+ warnings everytime I compile. It just makes me feel dirty.
