I can't get implib.exe (http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip) to produce .lib files from dlls (https://www.allegro.cc/files/). I think it works for other people.

Thanks for any help.

Works for me on allegro-5.0.10-mt.dll, produced 391kb lib file.

If it does not, please be more specific as to what goes wrong.

I think my Windows 7 on my Mac has system damage - I used a doggy flash drive. I plan to install Window 8.1, and hopefully that will fix the problem.

Update.

What happens is, that I run the script file (in DAllegro folder) and it is suppose to create lib files from the DLL ones. On my system, it says its done it but no lib files pop up!

It happens on another computer too. (maybe from my dodgy flash drive).

The guy at the computer shop said he didn't think it was a virus.

There's an idea that the files get wiped off as soon as they are created.

So I've just been using an older version of Allegro/DAllegro.

FYI, I have a nearly finished dynamic binding to Allegro 5 that doesn't require any link-time dependencies. I'll be adding it to DerelictOrg as soon as it's done. I hope that to be sometime on the other side of this coming weekend. I only have a couple more addons to work through.

You can try procmon to watch, what happens with files.

Ok, cool. What about Mac OS?

Ok, I'll have to have a look.

It should work across all the major platforms.
