Undefined reference to new operator
Never seen this linker error in my life until I started programming PSP homebrew applications. Anyway, I am making an allegro game and I need to fire projectiles or missiles in this case and I need to use a dynamic and generic array. But my linker complains that there is an undefined reference to the new operator. Below will be the whole source code, makefile, and error details.

If this error cannot be fixed is there a work around. Like what can I use that doesn't use the new operator. I mean I use malloc for dynamically allocating everything but the vector template class is somehow using the new operator.
Answer
It seems like you are using gcc as a linker wrapper and not g++. Thus, standard C++ runtime is not linked in, and operator new could not be found. You have to either use g++ to link, or specify C++ runtime yourself, usually it is -lstdc++.
