Take the 2-minute tour ×  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()
return 0;  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.  share|improve this question
add comment  1 Answer  g++ allegroTemplate.cpp -o
allegroTemplate  You aren't linking with Allegro. With Allegro
4, it's recommended to use the allegro-config command, like  g++
souce.cpp -o game $(allegro-config --libs)  If you are just
getting started, you really should take a look at Allegro 5
instead.
