Trouble linking other libraries to codeblocks...

[JumBie]

I've been trying for a few days now to try and install, Allegro 4, 5, and SFML. However, I am not having any success, I link all the proper files and follow the tutorials online, but everytime i try and compile I get littered with errors, its coming to the point where I cant see anything wrong in terms of me following the instructions. I am doing everything right, yet I cant get these damn test files to compile.

Instructions aren't always complete, so you will have to analyze the errors you're getting and figure out what's not building or linking.

I tried for the past few days, Allegro 4,5, SFML nothing...its always a stupid error linking to a dll that either does not exist or is already within the required folders. Tons of hours spent reading the internet trying to find a solution, and nothing. Everyones advice leads to a new possible solution, but ends in the same problem. I cant get these stupid libraries to compile, ugh.

Well if you expect us to help in some way, you'll have to give us something other than 'stupid error' to go on.

I gave up on trying to get it working with codeblocks, installed visual studio and still got errors lol, however managed to get SFML working.
