I want to use allegro with C/C++. How do I go about using its functions? I am using TC compiler.
Any one having a good tut is welcome =P
Umm...shouldn't this go in the General Programming forum?
-nekrophidius :evil:
as far as I know TC is not supported by allegro for DOS program try DJGPP and allegro IMHO have a good docs and forum so go find a tut there.........
If you want to use a real mode dos compiler with allegro, only allegro 1.0 supports real mode, after that only djgpp(a free dos compiler) is supported. and watcom(now also free)
Which one is better djgpp or watcom? Do you know any special sites?
nathan if u have experience working with djgpp + rhide + allegro then could u please point me to some forum or website which deals with all of these topics or atleast two of these topics?
But isnt Rhide for Linux only? Or can I use it on my WinME system just like the TC IDE?
er rhide is dos only, download it all from the same site nathan had
If you want to know anything about allegro, go to
http://allegro.cc. They have the downloads, forums, tutorials, links, examples, and all the other resources you may need.
But yeah id say Watcom is better but they are both good compilers.
Allegro also nicely compiles for windows also (search for MinGW in google, its a win32 c\c++ compiler).
Yeah, I already got that site. I have downloaded DJGPP and RHIDE I dunno how to get it set up =(
BTW they have provided downloads of various compilers including the one you suggested.
