I am currently learning about game development tools and decided to use Allegro and OpenGL for starters. I've run into some problems in getting examples to compile though. It seems the allergro.h library isn't linking correctly. Some web searching didn't help.

Here's my example code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <allegro.h>

int main()
{
9allegro_init();
9etc...
 
9
9return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN();

I'm running this command to compile it:

g++ allegroTemplate.cpp -o allegroTemplate

This is the error I'm getting:

/tmp/ccbpAXIY.o: In function `main':
allegroTemplate.cpp:(.text+0x2a): undefined reference to `_install_allegro_version_check'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm running this in Ubuntu.

I am currently attempting to learn about different game development tools and I decided to use Allegro and OpenGL for starters. But it ran into some problems, I cant seem to link the allergro.h library correctly or maybe there is some underlying problem i dont understand yet. I have tried google, Allegro.cc, VideoTutorialsRocks.com to solve my problem but no help.

/---------------------- my code sample --------------------------

#include <stdio.h> #include <allegro.h>

int main() { allegro_init(); etc...

return 0;

} END_OF_MAIN();

/------------------------ my command ----------------------

g++ allegroTemplate.cpp -o allegroTemplate

/------------------ my error ----------------------

/tmp/ccbpAXIY.o: In function main': allegroTemplate.cpp:(.text+0x2a): undefined reference to _install_allegro_version_check' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
