Last update : 10/13/2019

This section will go over the basic requirements of building Allegro 5. There are quite a few optional dependencies that you would probably like to have support for compiled in. Don't worry, we'll get to that. First the build tools, and then second, the dependencies, and third, allegro.

Before that, here are a few downloads made available for your convenience :

32 or 64 bit MinGW-W64 compiler (latest available here)
MinGW-W64-GCC81_i686_Posix_Dwarf.7z (32 bit MinGW compiler)
MinGW-W64-GCC81_x86_64_Posix_SEH.7z (64 bit MinGW compiler)

Dependency Source Package :
DepSources.7z

The source package includes the following libraries source code prepared for you. These are the latest releases as of 02/26/2019 : (an a following the version indicates I had to modify it slightly)

Allegro 4.4.3
Allegro 5.2.5
Enet 1.3.14a
FLAC 1.3.2
Freetype 2.9
libGIF 5.1.4
libDUMB Kode54 2.0.3
libJpegTurbo 2.0.2
libOgg 1.3.3
libTheora 1.1.1a
libVorbis 1.3.6
libPNG 1.6.36
libZLIB 1.2.11
OpenAL soft 1.19.1
libOpus 1.3
libOpusFile 0.9
PhysFS 3.0.1
libTIFF 4.0.10
libWebP 1.0.2

MSYS :
MSYS 1.0.11.7z

CHM script (kindly donated by ArekXV) :
generateCHM.7z

Build Tools

7-Zip

Some of the archives come in 7z or tar.gz format. The 7-zip archiver handles these files neatly. Download and install from here :

Download 7-zip

MinGW-W64

First you need a working build of MinGW. The MinGW-W64 project provides up to date, working, active versions of the latest gcc built for windows. You can get 32 or 64 bit compilers, but for portability I still recommend 32 bit, so you can share with a larger majority of your users.

On the Sourceforge download page, you can find the latest versions of MinGW-W64. Scroll down to see the release builds. Building Allegro 5 has been tested with MinGW-W64 GCC versions 7.1, 7.2, and 8.1.

Download the archive for your selected compiler version and architecture. Extract the contents of the folder and move the resulting mingw32 folder to c:\mingw.

MSYS 1.0

To build several of the dependency libraries, we need to use MSYS 1.0.11 to use the autotools builds.

Instructions for installing MSYS 1.0 can be found here. You need to install MSYS 1.0.11, the MSYS DTK, and then extract the MSYS Core over the top of your new installation. Install to the default location, which is C:\msys. I put together an archive containing all the files you need to install MSYS 1.0.11. Find it here :

MSYS_1pt0pt11.7z

Next, run your new msys.bat file in your new c:/msys/1.0 folder to launch the MSYS shell. Verify you have a working installation and the path is set correctly. By default, msys will add c:\mingw\bin to its path. At the terminal, type

g++ --version

It should output the version of gcc you are using. If so, you're good to go.

CMake 3

You can get the latest cmake on the Download page. When you install cmake, choose the option to add cmake to your %PATH%

Git

Download the latest git and install, choosing the option to add git to the system path for the current user.

NASM

NASM is used for building parts of libjpeg-turbo. If you're using a different libjpeg, feel free to skip this step. Otherwise, download v2.13.03 here, or find a newer version.

HTML Help Workshop

HTML Help Workshop lets you compile html into chm, which is a much easier format to navigate and read. You can get it from Microsoft.

The Evolution of Modern ATM Networking: Insights from the APTRA Advance NDC Reference Manual APTRA™ Advance NDC Reference Manual

: Clarifications on modern hardware components like touch FDK (Function Display Keys), BNA (Bulk Note Acceptor) status tracking, and USB receipt/journal support. Customization

Common Pitfalls & Mitigations

Pitfall: Mixed NDC formats causing duplicate or unmatched products — Mitigation: enforce consistent normalization on ingest.
Pitfall: Overwriting historical mappings — Mitigation: use effective-dated records rather than destructive updates.
Pitfall: Price or payer-code mismatches — Mitigation: separate price/payer mapping pipeline with approvals.
Pitfall: Missing package-level detail (e.g., multi-pack vs. single) — Mitigation: require package-size and unit-of-measure fields and validate unit conversions.

: Defining transaction flows using specific "States" and "Screens". Device Status Monitoring

Enhanced Data Formats: The updated manual introduces new data formats and structures to support the latest NDC standards. This enables airlines to distribute more comprehensive and accurate content through their distribution channels.
Expanded Payment Options: The manual now includes guidelines for various payment options, such as payment by installment and dynamic packaging. This allows airlines to offer more flexible payment solutions to their passengers.
Additional Service Definitions: The update includes new service definitions for ancillaries, such as baggage and seat selection. This enables airlines to better manage their ancillary revenue streams.
Improved Error Handling: The manual provides clearer guidelines on error handling and messaging, reducing the likelihood of errors and miscommunication during NDC-enabled transactions.

The NCR APTRA Advance NDC Reference Manual is the definitive technical guide for deploying, configuring, and maintaining ATM software within NCR Direct Connect (NDC) host environments. As financial institutions migrate toward more secure and flexible self-service channels, staying updated with the latest manual revisions is critical for compliance and operational efficiency. What is APTRA Advance NDC?

NDC-ERR-0221: Missing traveler date of birth for unaccompanied minors
NDC-ERR-0450: Ancillary incompatible with fare type
Recommended agent-facing messages for each code

Reference Manual (Main): Detailed specifications for transaction processing, message formats, and terminal state definitions.

What to check: New airlines added, deprecated version warnings, and required configuration flags.
