RE: [AL] Why C and not C++ ?

[<Bi...@ao...>]

Hi !
Two more good reasons for using C for a library are size and speed !
I love C++ too, but just had some problems converting old C-stuff to C++.
The clue is: Class elemental function pointers have a size of 8 Bytes 
(size+speed!) and it's nearly impossible to get access to them indirect from 
outside the class, like drivers would do. A wrapper just written for the 
necessary things you need is the better idea. Would be a wrapper from C++ to 
C possible ?

Hello!
I downloaded the tgz (source) package of allegro version 3.9.32 and
compiled it.
Now to the problem:
make install moves it to /usr/local..
But.. it only puts "liballeg-3.9.32.so" in /usr/local/lib
Shouldn't there be an symbolic link between liballeg.so or something?
Becaus i can not compile anything now.. all i get is undefined reference..
:(

I just thought you might want to know that..
I can fix it my self..  so dont tell me how to do that :)

I am not on this list, so post messages to my email if you replay to this.
