Allegro without DirectX
Author
How can i use allegro without needing DirectX? I have included alleg_s.lib and defined ALLEGRO_STATICLINK but i get unresolved symbols _DirectDrawCreate@12 and others (such as __imp__waveOutPause@4 and __imp__midiOutReset@4).

Any help? Does anyone know what library the symbols waveOutPause and midiOutReset (among other wave & midi routines) are from. Is it allegro or DX, i am hoping that allegro doesn't use directX for it's sound routine because that's one of the main things i use allegro for (and i don't have DX).
Allegro uses DirectX for Windows. If you link with alleg_s.lib, you need to link against the DX libraries. It's all covered in the build instructions.

Even if i don't use DX? Darn. Oh, well, i guess i will just download the minimal DirectX 7 SDK from the alegro website. Seems like a waste since i'm using OpenGL.
EDIT: i downloaded DX from the allegro site (dx70_min.zip) and added all the .lib files to the linker's additional dependencies but i still get errors saying it can't find wave and midi routines:
Is there something i'm not doing?
