Re: [AD] the "Allegro simple application makefile"

[Javier Gonzalez <xaviergonz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's see if I get this straight... are you trying to make a universal
makefile for everybody's
projects? I don't think it's a good idea, since many projects uses others
libs like libz or who
knows, other compilation optimizations... for your project, write your
makefile
and i dont see vrey difficult to write for example
gcc hello.c -lalleg :) (well, that for DJGPP)

My two cents...
