I made an Allegro game in Visual Studio. It’s very small.
But how can I get a finished .exe? When I copy the .exe out of the project’s debug folder and try to run it, it basically says “Sorry the Allegro dll’s are all missing! Install them and try again,” since I’ve removed it from its resources.
How can I bundle it together so that everything it needs is packed into the .exe?
What you are asking to do is called “static linking.” The advantages and disadvantages of this are listed here. For some compilers, Allegro.cc documents how to enable static linking on this page.
