Allegro Problems with Visual C++ .net 2003

HELLO!!!!! I am trying to get allegro to work with visual C++ .net, and i've been having some problems. I was following this tutorial HERE But the only error i got is at the very last line.....it says fatal error, and has something to do with the bracket at the very end. I have no clue what to do :(

some code would be beneficial...

Code:

---

#include <allegro.h>


int main(){
 
    allegro_init();
    install_keyboard();
    set_gfx_mode( GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0);
   
    readkey();
   
    return 0;
   
} 
END_OF_MAIN();
            <------------------it says the problem is here

---

You got me..I don't know allegro. Your program looks compilable except for this line: END_OF_MAIN(); Is this a declaration? If it isn't shouldn't it be a part of main()?

It is a macro that allegro uses. It does need to be there. But I don;t know enough about allegro to help either.

Everything seems ok with that code.. Maybe post the exact error that you are getting.
See if this will compile for you.

Code:

---

const int FAIL = -1
const int SUCCESS = 0;

int initAlleg()
{
    allegro_init();   
    if(install_mouse() == -1)
    {
        allegro_message(allegro_error);
        return FAIL;
    }
    if(install_keyboard() < 0)
    {
        allegro_message(allegro_error);
        return FAIL;
    }
    if(install_timer() < 0)
    {
        allegro_message(allegro_error);
        return FAIL;
    }
    set_color_depth(16);
    if(set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 800, 600, 0, 0) != 0)
    {
        allegro_message(allegro_error);
        return FAIL;
    }   
    //set_window_title("Extreme Space");
    return SUCCESS;
}

int main()
{
    initAlleg();
}
END_OF_MAIN()

I think your problem is this.

Quote:

---

set_gfx_mode( GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0);

---

It should either be this

Quote:

---

set_gfx_mode( GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 640, 480, 0, 0);

---

Or this.

Quote:

---

set_gfx_mode( GFX_AUTODETECT_FULLSCREEN, 640, 480, 0, 0);

---

Hope that helps!! :)

Well it's kinda hard to guess what the error message actually is. Maybe the OP should show us.

As I said before that is valid code he just needs to post the error s/he is getting.

Here is the error I always get: fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive

Your right I didnt try compiling the code earlier but I did and it works fine for me.

The only thing that I can think of is that allegro wasn't compiled correctly for Visual C++.

Maybe add a "#include "stdafx"" ALL THE WAY at the beginning if its not there. The compiler requires it.

You can turn off precompiled headers you don't need that for what you are doing. Or you can do what |Wiz| said he seems semi smart ;).
