A5 docs not being built?

I don't seem to be getting the docs built with the latest A5 from GIT. It says 'Built target docs' but nothing shows up in the docs/html or build/docs/html or mingw/docs/ folders. I have WANT_DOCS and WANT_HTML_DOCS enabled in cmake-gui. What am I doing wrong now? There are no html files anywhere.

Do you have pandoc installed and working? It's what Allegro uses to create the html files from the txt files.

No, I did not have pandoc installed, as this is a new machine and I forgot. However, it never says 'target html failed'. It just fails silently. After installing pandoc and deleting CMakeCache.txt it works now. ;)

So, thanks! Here's a compiled html help (chm) reference for A5.1.X from GIT as of 01/15/2016 :

allegro-doc-refman.chm

I generated it using ArekXV's batch script in generateCHM.7z and HTML Help Workshop, both found here :
