Using Allegro with Anjuta…
Posted on Tue 07 March 2006 in Technology • 1 min read
Allegro is a simple game development library. More info on allegro is here
And Anjuta is a popular IDE(Integrated Development Environment) for the GNOME environment. Well njuta doesn’t come with inbuilt support for allegro (as of anjuta 1.2.4) so here is how to setup Anjuta to use the allegro libraries. Go to Settings -> Compiler and Linker Settings -> Options in the Anjuta development UI..Then just add the following code in the Additional Libraries(LDADD) :-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,—export-dynamic -lalleg-4.2.0 -lalleg_unsharableI am using allegro 4.2 and anjuta 1.2.4. However you can get the particular string to add in the additional libraries using the command
allegro-config —libsin the terminal. More info on allegro and specific game development tutorials can be found here
