Description:

The published package within the repo is missing the header file /usr/include/xalleg.h, which was present in the former releases. When rebuilding the package locally (probably related to some build time checks during prepare?), the header will be present within the package. Probably it is this one in CMakeLists.txt:475:


> option(WANT_X11 "Want X11 support (Unix)" on)
>
> if(ALLEGRO_UNIX AND WANT_X11)
> find_package(X11)
> if(X11_FOUND)
> set(ALLEGRO_WITH_XWINDOWS 1)
> endif()
> endif()

ALLEGRO_WITH_XWINDOWS is later used when generating the install target to decide whether xalleg.h should be included.

Thank you for your time and packaging allegro4 in the first place, and a merry christmas :)

Additional info:
* allegro4 4.4.3.1-2

Steps to reproduce:
* Install allegro4 4.4.3.1-2
* pacman -Ql allegro4 | grep xalleg.h
This task depends upon

I've just spent 3 hours debugging stuff in #allegro for somebody with a4 programs crashing only on archlinux in allegro_init() - turns out a simple asp checkout allegro4 and makepkg -si fixed it. So either it is that xalleg.h unconfirmed or some other bug requiring a rebuild for a4 to work properly.

Thank you for the bug report. This bug bit me in the butt too!

A rebuild / re-installation of allegro4 using the ABS did the trick. :)
