allegro_monolith-static-5

[chrstf]

Hi!
After following the compiling instructions,

$ cd <your-ModelExplorer-folder>/source_code/build
$ cmake ..
$ make

I run into the following error,

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:894 (message):
  None of the required 'allegro_monolith-static-5' found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:9 (pkg_search_module)

How can I solve this?

Thank you!

Hi,

I am very sorry for the long waiting time! Have not looked into this repo for quite a while. To me it sems that you do not have the Allegro 5 library installed. The Linux binary has the library inbuilt (monolithic), so I guess that is why no-one came up with this issue earlier. It was a bummer not to include instructions for how to do it anyway. As a first try I would suggest you to install the library from PPA using this link: https://github.com/liballeg/allegro_wiki/wiki/Quickstart, and see if it works.

If it does not work, you will have to follow a rather more tedious procedure, but let us see if this works first!

Best regards!
