digitalmars.D.learn - Getting DAllegro 5 to work in Windows

I can't get implib.exe (http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip) to 
produce .lib files from dlls (https://www.allegro.cc/files/). I 
think it works for other people.

Thanks for any help.

I think my Windows 7 on my Mac has system damage - I used a doggy 
flash drive. I plan to install Window 8.1, and hopefully that 
will fix the problem.

Update.

What happens is, that I run the script file (in DAllegro folder) 
and it is suppose to create lib files from the DLL ones. On my 
system, it says its done it but no lib files pop up!

It happens on another computer too. (maybe from my dodgy flash 
drive).

The guy at the computer shop said he didn't think it was a virus.

There's an idea that the files get wiped off as soon as they are 
created.

So I've just been using an older version of Allegro/DAllegro.

FYI, I have a nearly finished dynamic binding to Allegro 5 that doesn't 
require any link-time dependencies. I'll be adding it to DerelictOrg as 
soon as it's done. I hope that to be sometime on the other side of this 
coming weekend. I only have a couple more addons to work through.

Ok, cool. What about Mac OS?

It should work across all the major platforms.

You can try procmon to watch, what happens with files.

If it does not, please be more specific as to what goes wrong.

Yep, it works for other people. I've just made the Coedit project 
for allegro, something like 2 days ago:

https://github.com/BBasile/ceprojs/blob/master/dallegro.coedit

and the example using the libman:

https://github.com/BBasile/ceprojs/blob/master/dallegro_example.coedit

Maybe you've get messed with the imports ?
