It is cross platform and works with many different compilers. +Originally developed by Shawn Hargreaves, it is now a group project with +contributions from all over the world! Some of its key features include: + * Ease of Use - comes with comprehensive documentation and examples + * Extensibility - if the built-in functionality isn't enough, there + are many add-ons available + * Cross Platform - without changing a single line of code, you can + create versions for Windows, OS X, Linux, DOS, and others! Works + with many compilers, including DJGPP and VC++ + * Open Source - anyone can contribute, including you! + * Free - it won't cost you a dime, and there are no restrictions on + its usage + +Allegro 4 can make use of sound patches like 'eawpats' for MIDI playback. +If 'eawpats' is installed first then this SlackBuild will create a +patches.dat from it. + +NOTE: This package conflict with Allegro (5.x). Do not install both. |
