: : i thought i did everything right but it isn't working.<br>
: : i'm using Windows98. Your help would be most appreciated.<p>
: i forgot to add i'm using MSVC++4.0<p>
Are you using the Work in Progress (WIP) version of Allegro? The only versions that work with MSVC++ are WinAllegro and the WIP version of Allegro.<p>
WIP and WinAllegro have only been tested on MSVC++ 5.0+ systems and have not been confirmed to work on 4.0- versions of MSVC++.<p>
I couldn't even get WIP Allegro to work with my MSVC++ 6.0 because it needs the DirectX 6.0 SDK which MSVC++ 6.0 does not contain (I think it may be v5.0 of DirectX).<p>
You'll probably need to upgrade your copy of MSVC++ and get a copy of the DirectX 7.0 SDK (120 megs download, or $12 for CD) from Microsoft.<p>
You can download the Free 32-bit C/C++ compiler, DJGPP, which was what Allegro was originally intended for, and get it to work with that.<p>
