Hi,

Is it possible to use SDL with djgpp?  
After reading old posts in the archives it isn’t clear for me.

Thank you,  
Fernando.\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

The last time I checked there was’nt a DOS port of SDL for various  
reasons. If you only want to use DJGPP because it’s a free compiler  
and you don’t need to target DOS (IE windows is fine) then you may  
want to try SDL with Mingw32.

I don’t think so. But you can use Allegro with DJGPP.

DJGPP has a pretty good Game library called Allegro. I played around with  
it sometime back (a few years ago). It currently has a large development  
push behind it.

That should be:

[http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro](http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro)

Since allegro.cc is not Allegro’s official web page.
