I just checked allegro 4.2 out on osx and compiled it fine but when I
tried to compile DUMB, or any of my Allegro programs, I got this error:
/usr/local/include/allegro/platform/astdint.h:44:5: #error I dunno how
to get the definitions of fixed-width integer types on your platform.
Please report this to your friendly Allegro developer.
I seem to have /usr/include/stdint.h so I added
#define HAVE_STDINT_H
to include/internal/alconfig.h so that astdint.h would pick up
stdint.h which fixed the problem. alconfig.h:
#if defined HAVE_INTTYPES_H
#include <inttypes.h>
#elif defined HAVE_STDINT_H
#include <stdint.h>
#elif defined ALLEGRO_I386 && defined ALLEGRO_LITTLE_ENDIAN
...
#endif
But my question is why wasnt this picked up in the first place and how
did the Allegro examples compile if this error would show up when
compiling any program that include <allegro.h>?
