Using Allegro with CodeBlocks

Hello,

I have seen you have solved your problem already :D. I just wanted to post what I have done to make it works locally, but it is of no use now. I was too late :).

Btw, it was good to work again with CB :).

Good luck and best wishes

Thanks very much for putting in the effort. If you do have anything useful, then it would be great if you could post it but if not thanks anyway.

Hello,

may be one thing.

At the beginning I was getting a lot of link errors. Changing the libraries position did not helped out. So I gave a look at the instructions :) (very short to be honest :() and it was written to put the .dll into system32 folder, the libraries and the includes files into MinGW lib and include folders respectively.

To be honest, I would avoid to "throw" any dll into system32 folder, but store them into a separate folder and add its path the environmental variable system path. Also I would avoid to do what asked for MinGW include and lib. Better to keep the MinGW clean.

Anyway, I tried (before I did a MinGW backup) and re-tested. Nothing :(.

Then I tried to add only the libs with a '_s' in their names. Nothing :(.

So I tried to add only the libs without that '_s' and it worked :).

Anyway, it would be better to exactly (if possible) know what each lib is used for, to avoid to add useless things.

The project website seems to me a very nice place where to start to learn about allegro. I have found this French tutorial to be rather good (http://iteme.free.fr/download.php3?url=tutorials/Allegro.pdf&id=allegro).

All the best
Michael
