How to use Allegro on Code::Blocks?

**pctammela** · 29-Jan-2015, 06:38

I'm have been trying lately to do some development on Linux and gave OpenSUSE 13.2 a try, I have installed Code::Blocks and found that Allegro 5 is in the games repo.

I got allegro 5 from there, added the repo and did a zypper install but how do I tell code::blocks to use allegro?

Hello and welcome here.

I am not a developer and I do not know the answer. But why didn't you post this in one of the sub-forums of the Development forum here: https://forums.opensuse.org/forumdis...97-Development.

When you want me to move this to one of them there, please say so here or use the Report button (the triangle with !) below the post.

Hey hcw! The applications forums says it's also open for configuration problems which is my case, It's not a development/code issue itself, it's just a problem on how to configure Code::Blocks to use Allegro 5.

I don't mind to move the post, I just need help!

OK, when you think it draws a better audience here, we leave it as it is. In any case, our conversation might highlight this thread

Hi
From http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/to...in-ubuntu-804/

Allegro is not linked up to Code::Blocks by default so in your IDE select Settings > Compiler and Debugger > Linker Settings and type the following into "Other linker options"

Code:

allego-config --libs --static

This doesn't works...

But I found a solution! Might post a tutorial.

you need to install the allegro devel packages

Code:

sudo zypper in liballegro-devel

if you want to have allegro integrated in the code::blocks GUI you need to get adition code::blocks wizard scripts
see
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php...Wizard_scripts
for allegro scripts try here
http://members.allegro.cc/h8or/files...codeblocks.zip
you need to get the allegro wizards from the zip above, unpack them somewhere in your home and then edit code:blocks gui to show them.

hope this helps
