Which version of DJGPP? Which version of allegro: 4.03 or 4.20? Everything compiles for 4.03, but little does for 4.20... > I have put most of the allegro libraries in d:\djgpp\include\ > but I still can't get it working... My experience is that Allegro, after the build, places the resulting files, i.e., libraries and includes, correctly into DJGPP. You may want to read allegro\docs\build\djgpp.txt Basically, unzip, with directories, Allegro into d:\djgpp (Allegro files will then be in d:\djgpp\allegro) Winzip should do this fine. If you are doing this from DOS, I recommend using a .tar.gz version of Allegro instead of a .zip. You'll need Henrik Haftmann's DOSLFN driver. Like so: CD D:\DJGPP doslfn gzip -d allegro-4.0.3.tar.gz djtar -xvf allegro-4.0.3.tar Then do these: CD D:\DJGPP CD ALLEGRO FIX DJGPP MAKE MAKE INSTALL > I would be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction > Thanks in Advance... My personal experience with graphics libraries for DOS is that, at most, half the Allegro ex*.exe examples work for my video card. Almost none of the GRX demo's work and all DEPUI demo's work. Other people seem to have much better luck with Allegro than I. Allegro never seems to like my choice of video cards. Rod Pemberton -- Posted via: http://www.cyberjustice.org
