Allegro/C++ Help

[ghosstt]

Well, I downloaded the latest stable build of allegro to use with VS 2008 express. I extracted the rar to my C: drive, just so it's out in the open. I referenced both the include and the library, and when I created a blank project and added "alleg.lib" to the linker dependencies, I get a linker error saying it can't find alleg.lib. Any help?

Just put the header files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Express)\VC\include or whatever, and the library files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Express)\VC\lib or whathaveyou (don't remember the exact directories).

Hmm. theres actually no library files in the allegro folder. just a allegro.def file. Think that's the problem?

Yes. Make sure you download the appropriate files.

Ya. I used the sourceforge website, which I'm pretty sure has the wrong files. Hopefully these work.
