Hi, new to Allegro & Cmake not new to coding and C++.

I have followed the guide and instructions that are in the readme files for building this library on a Windows 7 Machine for MSVC. Unfortually all I get is a sea of red in the Cmake GUI, and a rather large Error log that I really don't understand.

If someone could help me out I would be very very happy. Thank you all in-advance. Below is the error Log.

I used the Visual Studio Developer Prompt.

I didn't explicitly set any paths apart from making sure that the Cmake was added in.

I can see that all the path's for Visual Studio are in the PATH but does that cover the MSVC ?

Sorry (I am not used to leaving the realm of Visual Studio IDE)

Well After some more reading and studying I have been able to reduce the errors by altering where I had my include files. now I have done that I still have these Errors Out standing. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thank you.

I usually start cmake-gui instead of just cmake, it's easier to use. But you still need to start it from a terminal with the correct paths set, etc.
