Need a Lib TUT

killercoder · Post by **killercoder** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 4:44 pm

If any one could please post a good tutorial on how to set up a library and where to download this library.

I don't care what Lib it is as long as its easy to use and compatible with dev-c++

thank you all very much.

I don't know what you mean...

Here's a tutorial on setting up SDL...

Yes, it is compatible with dev-c++

You really dont need a tut, setup is usually similar for all API's and if its a decent API, it SHOULD have a API Doc, I know all major apis have them... Read the Docs

Google "Allegro DevPak"

Download Allegro DevPak

Double click Allegro.pak or whatever it's called.

Done.

"This" library? Am I missing something? Libraries are distributed as .lib files (Windows) or .a files (*nix) along with header files. These are simply precompiled object files that you are linking with your code.

Link to the library
Include the header files

If you want more help, you are going to have to be more specific. Which library? What platform? What IDE? Define your pronouns, and I will define a solution.

You have to tell us what your problem is and we can help you. In general you just have to make your IDE know where the include folder of the lib is and tell it which libraries it should include.

Static linking in Unix-style systems ist really rare

Not really when you consider the fact that most gaming consoles (and microprocessors in general) are Unix-style and also link against .a rather than .lib.

True, I was unconsciously referring to desktop computers. Although, I don't know what .lib has to do with *nix

Do you mean .so?
