I am using DevC++ and want to get into graphics (finally!). I downloaded Allegro WIP v3936 from alleg.sourceforge.net/allegro along with the Allegro binary dll''s and a minimal Directx 7 SDK for Mingw32. Needless to say the whole thing is friggin confusing, and I need some help on installing it. What I''ve done already is unzipped the "allegro" folder from the Allegro WIP''s zip file into my DevC++ directory. Next I put the dll''s in that same directory and copied the DX7 libs and headers into DevC++''s "lib" and "include" directories. I might end up uninstalling/reinstalling DevC++ and starting over (again?), but if I can get some help, it''d be appreciated.

If you''ve got your paths set up correctly, all you need to do is go into the Allegro Directory, then type

fixming.bat
make
make install

That''s all there is to it. That works for MingW. Don''t know about Dev-C++.

DevC++ uses MingW32, so it might. Then again if the directories are all different...

Then move to MingW. Or buy MSVC (it isn''t that expensive).

Can I be sure there is NO way to install it in DevC++? That doesn''t sound right, though possible I guess.

There must be SOMEONE out there who uses Allegro WIP with DevC++... Right?
