    alleggl and linux

    I cant find anything on linking alleggl on linux. I have been using allegro fine with `allegro-config --libs` but that does not do anything with the alleggl part. Does anyone know how to link alleggl in linux.

    I'm running the latest allegro and fedora 10

    A preliminary Google search suggests that the statements "I'm running the latest allegro" and "I need alleggl" are mutually inconsistent, as this page seems to indicate that OpenGL support was folded into Allegro itself a while ago.

    Hey, It's pretty simple to link allegro if you have it installed and are compiling via the command line. Simply:

    1)cd to your source location.
    2)run gcc -lalleg-4.2.2 sourcefiles.c

    Obviously, if you aren't running Allegro 4.2.2 just change that line accordingly. If there are no compilation errors, that short line should create an executable in the current directory called a.out.

    Hopefully that works!
