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
