[SOLVED]ld cannot find -l-L/usr/lib -lalleg error

I just installed allegro4 (I know it's outdated but I don't really know much allegro 5 and I need to make a game as a project for school), and everything seems to be working fine. I'm using Code::Blocks. In the Settings->Compiler and Debugger window under the Linker Settings tab I have set

`allegro-config --libs`

When I compile, I get the following error

ld cannot find -l-L/usr/lib -lalleg

I've tried searching for errors similar to this on google but I haven't had much luck.

It should be -L/usr/lib -lalleg; judging by the message, you have -l"-L/usr/lib -lalleg"
My guess is that you put `allegro-config --libs` where your IDE expects library name while it should go to where IDE expects linker options.

That worked perfectly. Thank you very much.
