allegro problem

shadowvillian (135)
im trying to use allegro and when i typed up a simple program in it, it gave me alot of compiler errors. but the biggest reason to that is this -
alplatf.h: No such file or directory. i have in included all the include files in the options(im using code blocks 8.02, in windows) it leads back to the allegro.h file too. heres the code:

//include header file
#include <allegro.h>

//start program with main function
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    //initialize allegro
    allegro_init();

    //set up input device
    intall_keyboard();

    //set up screen: auto set graphics mode, width, and height(dont worry about the last 2 zeros for now)
    set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0);

    //stall the program until a key is hit
    readkey();

    //exit the program
    return 0;
}

//special end for allegro
END_OF_MAIN()


anyone run into the same problem? or should i switch compilers?

You did install Allegro, didn't you?
shadowvillian (135)
yes. now by install do you mean include the header files?
helios (17574)
No, I mean putting the corresponding headers and static linking libraries where the compiler and linker can find them.

you can try dev c++ compiler. Then try allegro devpak from

you can try dev c++ compiler


Please don't advise that in these forums, DevC++ is a non-maintained IDE it's only a matter of time before it's completely useless...

Maybe in 2007 it was a matter of time. Now it's a reality.
