allgero
hello
i am trying to write a program in C++ that has allegro functions in it.
I have downloaded it off the internet and saved in on a file on my computer. Now how do i let Visual Studios C++ (my compiler) know that i have it and let me use the allgero functions in my programs. when im try to compile programs with those functions in it it gives me an error, ( Cannot open include file: 'allegro.h': No such file or directory )
how do i do this.
please give me good instructions on how.
NiCk!

I have never used allegro but...
If you say it is a single file I suspect you need to extract/install it.
Somewhere in that installation will be a directory of header files. In the project compiler properties in VS, you need to add that directory to the directories the compiler looks through for headers used in
The same is true for the directory with the library files. It will need to be added to the linker properties.
I haven't got VS to hand so I can't be more specific about where in properties you need to make the changes.
