title: how to include Allegro5 into a project for the first time?
body: <p>hi i am trying to download allegro, as stated in the title, i am using <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y13-ZwTR-lE" rel="nofollow">this guys</a> youtube video for help and it has been more helpful than i thought it'd be, but of course i run into some sort of error. in the video, he tells you to go into the property pages -> configuration properties -> linker -> input -> additional dependencies and then type in "allegro-5.0.1-monolith-md-debug.lib". this is where i am getting my error, the compier is telling me that it can't open the file(error: LNK1104, i thought that it might have something to do with the versions being different, considering it is a few years old atm. i looked online and i tried going to common properties -> references -> add new reference, but it was blank. i tried including allegro by adding it to the "include libraries" and "library directories" in the VC++ Directories page but that doesnt work either. im totally lost. did i type in the wrong thing? im using visual studio 2013 and it seems like allegro.cc says the 2013 version isnt supported or something? i dont know...</p>
