What is wrong with this Command Line syntax
 

I'm trying to static compile/link a program. The error indicates that g++ can't find the needed libraries. I've search for them and they are there. I'm guessing g++ isn't looking in the right area.

I've tried to include the-L flag. I'm not getting a command line error but it doesn't change the over all compiling error. As a matter of fact it may even increase the amount of times the system says it can't find the files.

Can anyone tell where I've went wrong?

Thanks

If you are compiling v5.3 it looks like you should be using "pkg-config" in lieu of "allegro-config".
https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?ti...#Allegro_5.x.y

Thanks norobro. Using Allegro 4.4.2. Would that make a difference?

I don't use allegro so I don't know what difference it makes, but the wiki says to use pkg-config for v4.4:

Thanks norobro. I think that is the issue. I'll play around with it and keep you posted.
