Missing Allegro File


Mustang

Recommended Posts

I downloaded Allegro and followed the instructions, I found out that I don't have the file setup.exe for allegro version 4.0.3. Looking in google, yahoo, and dogpile didn't help, so could anyone put the file up for me to download or give a link to a site where I can download it?

Thanks

P.S. I need the file to play UFO2000

well, here's what I gather from the file I have (allegro binaries 402)

This package contains precompiled copies of the Windows DLL files for the

Allegro library, to save you having to compile it yourself. This is not a

complete distribution of Allegro, as it does not contain any of the

documentation, example programs, headers, etc. You need to download the full

source version, and then just unzip this package over the top of it.

 

To install, run the batch file msvcmake.bat, either from a command prompt or

by double-clicking on it from the Windows explorer. This will hopefully be

able to autodetect all the details of where to find your compiler, and will

automatically compile the various support programs that come with Allegro.

 

At the end of the install process you will be asked whether to copy libs and

headers into your compiler directories, and whether to install the DLL files

into the Windows system directory. You should normally say yes here, but if

you prefer, you can leave these files in the Allegro directory, and then

specify the paths to them later on, when you come to compile your own

programs using Allegro.

 

maybe that helps...

Well, I don't really know anything about it. Wait for Serge, he'll probably know (UFO2000 works here, but I can't remember HOW I installed allegro, according to what I see, I had to use VDMSound so the damn thing could work?? Or maybe it didn't and I just skipped it :P ) What version of UFO2000 are you using? And what version of allegro?
