title: Can't build Allegro 5 solution in MSVC 2012
body: <p>I am struggling for hours to build my first Allegro 5 application in Visual Studio 2012, using Windows 7 x64.</p>
  
  <p>I have followed <strong>all</strong> the steps of this tutorial: <a href="http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Windows,_Visual_Studio_2010_and_Allegro_5#Download" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Windows,_Visual_Studio_2010_and_Allegro_5#Download</a> which means that the Allegro directory is in c:/allegro/ and all the libraries are added in both the debug and release configurations.</p>
  
  <p>I also changed my subsystem to Windows, so now it says "Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)"</p>
