RE: [AL] Re: compiling allegro without directx

[Death G. <cl...@ho...>]

What the hell are you two talking about? Allegro isn't dependent on DirectX 
at all....well to do the fullscreen drawing on windows. Allegro is designed 
so that it can be compiled and used across Windows, Linux, BeOS, DOS, MacOS, 
Unix, QNX, etc. Different OSes use different methods Windows uses *.lib and 
*.a files for the lib along with the *.dll stuff, whereas *nix systems 
(which  I use Windows 98, XP, and Linux for my allegro programming) use *.so 
files (shared objects). I've been here since August 2001 and I must say you 
guys have to be new in order to ask a question as left fielded as that. 
Allegro is designed so it is able to run on its own (no other libs needed).

Thanks Torp for rising up a good issue!

There is really a need of light-weight Allegro version

having no dependency on DirectX, i.e. no libraries
like ddraw.lib, dsound.lib, dinput.lib, etc.

Hopefully there should be some official hints to do it

transparently.

Good Luck.
