You can write C++ files which use Allegro; that shouldn't be a problem at
all. Just end your filenames with `.cc' instead of `.c' and you'll be
writing C++ programs. Use gxx as the linker, still put `-lalleg' on the
end of the command line. #include <allegro.h> as normal.

FYI the setup program that comes with Allegro is C++.
