Some code? Did you eventually link the Allegro library to your executable? What IDE/Compiler are you using?

[LAfSLyTq]

im using Visual C++ and i dont know how to link my Allegro lib to my exe, thats what i am asking.

[LAfSLyTq]

can somone please tell me how to use the linker that i cant even find?

The linker is a command line tool. Unless you're working on the command line without an IDE, that's not what you want. What you want is some setting buried deep in your IDE in which you specify the location and name of libraries you wish to link to.

okay, i already know this, i am using C++ and i need to include files, where is the linker?
ive been looking for an hour and a half now im very irritated.

You have an ide. You just need to tell the ide what's the .lib file you want to link your app to. In Visual-C++ you can
#pragma comment(lib, "LibraryFileName.lib") .
Refer to the Allegro Docs...

We know you're using C++. This is a C++ forum.

The linker is a program. I expect you meant "I am using Visual C++. Where are the linker settings?" This depends on which version of MS Visual Studio you are using. Typically, they are under the Project settings.

It may look something like this:
