Hello, can somebody please help me or link me to a tutorial for my problem. i have looked online foe about an hour and couldn't finda anything. I am trying to link allegro on ubuntu 12.04 (its 32-bit not sure if that matters (probably doesn't)) on the Code::Blocks IDE. when i put a sample project from the internet in :


#include </usr/include/allegro.h> //the /usr/include/allegro.h is where allegro is on my hardrive.

int main()
{
//Initialize Allegro
allegro_init();

//Set the resolution to 640 x 480 with SAFE autodetection.
set_gfx_mode(GFX_SAFE, 640, 480, 0, 0);

//Install the keyboard handler
install_keyboard();

//Print your welcome message to the screen
textout(screen, font, "Hello Dream.In.Code! This is my first Allegro Program", 1, 1, 10);
textout(screen, font, "Press ESCape to quit.", 1, 12, 11);

//Loop until escape is pressed
while(! key[KEY_ESC])
poll_keyboard();

//Exit program
allegro_exit();
return 0;
}

END_OF_MAIN();


i get these errors:

please help me!!!

Anybody

The problem is that i dont know what to link. i put the code in because i thought it might help show what i need to link.

I remember having problems with Code::blocks as well with allegro, but that just may be my memory.
When I worked with allegro, I used Dev-C++. There's another post here in the forum, I'll just quote what another member said:

[size=1]in Dev-C++ go to the Tools menu and click Check for updates/Packages. Select a devpak server from the drop down menu and click Check for updates. You'll see a list of packages that you can download, find Allegro and check it and download it.[/quote]

So that's quite easy.

Then again..

You shouldn't use Dev-C++. It's very old, extremely buggy, and will hinder the process of learning to program.[/quote]
