> VIDE is already supported and you are free to ignore

Not if you are a new user reading docs/readmgw.txt, a
lot of people think DevC++ is the compiler ;)
I posted the following at allegro.cc to see if this
info is useful...
====================
What is the opinion on DevC++? I have found (in my
opinion) a better IDE for Allegro, VIDE, get it from
the downloads section at:
[URL]http://www.objectcentral.com/[/URL]
Just install it and if you have allegro and mingw
already setup (which you will if you can compile with
devcpp) do this:
Run VIDE
Select 'New C++ Project' from the 'Projects' menu.
Name your project and save in the folder you want as
your base folder (for testing try allegro/examples).
Fill in the name with the exe you want (like test.exe)
and select Project Type 'C' if your source is C or
mixed C and C++; or leave it for C++, then click OK
Add -lalleg to the linker flags (also -lstdc++ if you
have both C and C++ files in the project), then click
the 'names' tab and add your sourcefile(s), then click
OK.
Click the makeall button (third from right) or press
F7
Click the run button (far right) or press F5 then OK
That's it. How does this compare with DevC++? Please
give your opinions here, thanks.
