Thread: trying to set up allegro but dos is giving me troubles

using this page http://www.allegro.cc/files/install-devcpp.html im on step 5. in a dos promp i type gcc -v but what shows up doesnt match whats on the page, im guessing it could be becuase i might be using a differ veriosn of dev. so i just go on, but with he rets of the commands it just says i have a bad command or filename.

you seem to like posting C questions in the C++ board....

anyway what does gcc -v say?

and you know that you have to switch to the allegro directory before you run fix mingw32 and make right?

never done allegro before, i'd help if i could..but ive never sunk so low that i'd have to use a graphics library on a dos app.
huh huh huh huh.

*Joke*

hello? he's using mingw. he's writing windows apps. not dos apps. sheesh.

xterria, shut up you dont knwo wut ur talking about. when i typed gcc -v it said...


Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

i tried to go to the allegro directory but when i typed in C:\Dev-C++ it said invalid command

i wonder if xterria knows the dev-c++ is a mingw based compiler?
