I am installing and building Allegro 5 from Git (tried normal install and it failed the same way). I don't know what to do next to make this compile.

  • What commands did you run to build it? Can you try `make VERBOSE=1? (https://stackoverflow.com/a/4808324/1435461) – rcorre Sep 02 '18 at 12:52
  • I am following this web page: https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Install_Allegro5_From_Git/Linux/Debian This error showed up after typing make. – Douglas E Knapp Sep 02 '18 at 12:54
  • Unfortunaly I'm not sure. If you are just interested in installing allegro and not the demos, you can disable them with [`WANT_DEMO=0`](https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L188) – rcorre Sep 02 '18 at 13:23
  • WANT DEMO=0 is a command for make? It does not work; make: *** No rule to make target 'WANT'. Stop. – Douglas E Knapp Sep 02 '18 at 13:39
  • it is a command to cmake, e.g. `cmake -DWANT_DEMO=off`. Note the `_`, it is `WANT_DEMO`, not `WANT DEMO` – rcorre Sep 03 '18 at 11:52
  • Did you try directly via terminal with: sudo apt-get install liballegro5-dev ? – Mr. Branch Sep 04 '18 at 05:35

I went to long way around and removed Mint KDE (because they are not going to update it and it was really out of date) and installed Manjaro KDE Linux. This came with all the programming tools I need and it is VERY up to date!

Thanks everyone!
