rotate_trans_sprite() halts gcc compiler (MSYS, MinGW)

[ZoriaRPG]

Calling this function:

rotate_sprite_trans(bmp, subBmp, dx, dy, degrees_to_fixed(rot));

..causes the compiler to halt (Error 1).

I checked the allegro changelog, and it is absolutely in 4.0 and later, so...what's likely causing this?

Linker or compiler error?

Make sure that your paths are correct and it is linking against the allegro 4.2.2fixed lib; if it is a compiler error then it's not finding the declaration perhaps... Without any actual errors I can only guess.

Hmm... I'll look into it. DarkDragon set p a repo with VS2016 projects, so I may shift to using that.

In the interim, would you mind proofing this?

I pletely rewrote my approach, as you can see. Is there anything going on with this that would not be legal?

It's in 4.4, not 4.2.

That is what I initially thought, but the Allegro chagelog references it in 3.9x. I'll do some more hunting, to verify.

We do eventually need to update to 4.4 anyway, but perhaps I can integrate it somehow for the present.
Grayswandir has also been asking about updating to 4.4.

Is there any chance that you could make a list of anything in 4.2 that we've modified, so that I can begin working on moving to 4.4, without blindly stumbling about, looking for patches?
