I've just now started back in programming, and decided to give Allegro a shot with VC++ (2005 Express Edition) since I've never worked in VC++ before, but have experience in Allegro.
I've got the source code, and debugging error info here for you all to look at, so please look at it, and give me a heads up on what I'm doing incorrect.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "allegro.h"
int main(void)
{
//initialize Allegro
allegro_init();
//initialize keyboard
install_keyboard();
//initialize video mode to 640x480
int ret = set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 640, 480, 0, 0);
if(ret!=0)
{
allegro_message(allegro_eror);
return 1;
}
//display screen resolution
textprintf(screen, font, 0, 0, makecol(255, 255, 255), "%dx%d", SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
//wait for keypress
while(!key[KEY_ESC]);
//end the program
allegro_exit();
return 0;
}END_OF_MAIN()
and the debug info

Setting Up Allegro - 1 error(s), 10 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I'm gettng 1 error and 10 warnings, and I believe in the new version of Allegro 4.2.2 I've reference the alleg.lib correctly in project properties, linkers, additional dependencies, yada ya, but do I only have to reference alleg.lib, or do I have to reference other allegro libs, or have my methods been deprecated to something else I'm not aware of?
Please help me.
