This section will go over the basic requirements of building Allegro 5. There are quite a few optional dependencies that you would probably like to have support for compiled in. Don't worry, we'll get to that. First the build tools, and then second, the dependencies, and third, allegro.

Before that, here are a few downloads made available for your convenience :

32 or 64 bit MinGW-W64 compiler (latest available here)

MinGW-W64-GCC81_x86_64_Posix_SEH.7z (64 bit MinGW compiler)

Dependency Source Package :
DepSources.7z

The source package includes the following libraries source code prepared for you. These are the latest releases as of 02/26/2019 : (an a following the version indicates I had to modify it slightly)

Build Tools

7-Zip

Some of the archives come in 7z or tar.gz format. The 7-zip archiver handles these files neatly. Download and install from here :

Download 7-zip

MinGW-W64

First you need a working build of MinGW. The MinGW-W64 project provides up to date, working, active versions of the latest gcc built for windows. You can get 32 or 64 bit compilers, but for portability I still recommend 32 bit, so you can share with a larger majority of your users.

On the Sourceforge download page, you can find the latest versions of MinGW-W64. Scroll down to see the release builds. Building Allegro 5 has been tested with MinGW-W64 GCC versions 7.1, 7.2, and 8.1. easeus todo backup full

Download the archive for your selected compiler version and architecture. Extract the contents of the folder and move the resulting mingw32 folder to c:\mingw.

MSYS 1.0

To build several of the dependency libraries, we need to use MSYS 1.0.11 to use the autotools builds.

Instructions for installing MSYS 1.0 can be found here. You need to install MSYS 1.0.11, the MSYS DTK, and then extract the MSYS Core over the top of your new installation. Install to the default location, which is C:\msys. I put together an archive containing all the files you need to install MSYS 1.0.11. Find it here : While a free version exists, the "Full" (paid)

MSYS_1pt0pt11.7z

Next, run your new msys.bat file in your new c:/msys/1.0 folder to launch the MSYS shell. Verify you have a working installation and the path is set correctly. By default, msys will add c:\mingw\bin to its path. At the terminal, type

g++ --version

It should output the version of gcc you are using. If so, you're good to go. Upgrading to the Full Home Version or higher

CMake 3

You can get the latest cmake on the Download page. When you install cmake, choose the option to add cmake to your %PATH%

Git

Download the latest git and install, choosing the option to add git to the system path for the current user.

NASM

NASM is used for building parts of libjpeg-turbo. If you're using a different libjpeg, feel free to skip this step. Otherwise, download v2.13.03 here, or find a newer version.

HTML Help Workshop

HTML Help Workshop lets you compile html into chm, which is a much easier format to navigate and read. You can get it from Microsoft.

While a free version exists, the "Full" (paid) editions—such as Home, Workstation, and Server—unlock the advanced features required for true disaster recovery and system migration. Why Choose the Full Version Over Free?

EaseUS Todo Backup Full supports three primary backup methods, each serving a specific need in your data protection plan: Backup Type Storage Used
