Yeah, you can use it with many other compilers, but I like the default one because it is the only one I know that allows it to be portable. Dev-Cpp allows you to import MSVC projects (not sure how well it works for that yet) and there are some branches of Dev-Cpp that sound interesting, like the wxDev-Cpp with the built-in GUI designer. >> Using MSYS2 to install a Linux environment in Windows so you can use a Linux >> compiler is a joke.

I suppose all I want to know for a fact is, are the Allegro 5 APIs written in C++ or C? _______________________________________________ Allegro-developers mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/allegro-developers
