Hi I was wondering if anyone(Bjorn in particular) would know how to compile files c++ proggies with the allegro font library in Linux. I know how to compile files using just allegro. But I dunno how to use libalfont.a? When I run this command it gives me errors:
g++ text.cpp -o test -l libalfont.a `allegro-config --libs`

You'll probably want to try:
| Code: | | g++ -o test test.cpp -lalfont `allegro-config --libs` |
You'll probably also want to make sure libalfont.a is in gcc's library search path.
That is, something like:
| Code: | | g++ -o test test.cpp -L/pathto/libalfont/ -lalfont `allegro-config --libs` |

Yep, that should do it. If passing this parameter is not to your liking, you can add the path to the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable using:
| Code: | | export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/pathto/libalfont/ |
You can put that into your ~/.bashrc for example, to have it set automatically.

Yeah, that should help him. I've shown him this site, because he asked me if I knew something about Allegro+Linux. I didn't, but I know that at least Bjørn should know that...

Thanks. Yeah, we're certainly going to have a Linux release for our upcoming contest entry, though it'll probably just be for ourself, Happy and the odd one. :-)
Our main development platform is now Linux, except for one persistent artist, Modanung. Actually he's probably going to make sure that we'll have a Windows release as well. :-)

Yeah, I still need to start working on the graphics... I've got 3 upcoming tests in the next 3 days, I'll try to start after that.
Oh, and see you tomorrow, Bjorn! :)
