Hi.
All the following applies to building the CVS version of Allegro with
MSVC in a cygwin environment:
Build documentation is not explicit about CVS, so I failed to make
depend and fixdll.bat the lot. Also, current version requires g++ to
build the dependencies. Cygwin users might need to chmod 775 the bat
file to execute it. Patch attached.
Things left to do:
Order of mkdir/cp during install is wrong, so it can fail if there's no
include directory:
[ghankiewicz@xxxxxxxxxx] [~/project/allegro/allegro]$ make install DEBUGMODE=1
cp include/allegro.h /include
mkdir /include/allegro
mkdir: cannot create directory `/include/allegro': No such file or directory
make: *** [/include/allegro] Error 1
Some missing checks?
[ghankiewicz@xxxxxxxxxx] [~/project/allegro/allegro]$ make DEBUGMODE=1
Your MSVCDIR environment variable is not set!
See the docs/build/msvc.txt file!
[ghankiewicz@xxxxxxxxxx] [~/project/allegro/allegro]$ make DEBUGMODE=1 install
The debugging MSVC library has been installed.
I must be lucky to have built the debug version without MSVCDIR!

Allegro should work ok with MSVC versions 4, 5, 6 and 7.
