I just recived the book Game 'Programming All In One' 2nd edition. I have read over and over how to get allegro to work, but the auther just keeps jumping from allegro to these crazy idieas of his to installing allegero then look at reference e and f. It is just going way over my head. What I have so far is I auto-updated Dev-c++ and I go theallegro files and them all installed. Now I need to commpile them? or I need to add some linker option. I dont really understand what I need to do could someone please help so I can get started :) Thanks

Don't bother compiling it yourself just install the Devpaks, which you have done.

Now just add -lalleg and your ready to go.
