Building for Windows with CMake ExternalProject_Add |

Has anyone successfully included and built allegro 5.x with ExternalProject_Add() in their project's CMake file? To build my project, I like the idea of being able to take a fresh platform and just install the generic build tools (msbuild, gcc, etc.). I would then run CMake against the project, have it pull all the libraries it depends on, build them, and then build my project. However, for Windows I am facing issues when using Visual Studio build tools 14.0 (VS2015). I can clone build Allegro 5 alone using the same cmake/msbuild command that I build my project with, but once I add Allegro to my CMakeLists.txt file as an ExternalProject, I fail with errors below.

The error seems to suggest that it's defaulting to an older toolchain, so adding -T v140_xp alongside the generator option to the CMake invocation should fix things. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

It's weird that I can build it alone, just not through ExternalProject_Add(). I tried what you suggested, and that still didn't fix it. I'll try and dive deep on this and figure it out; otherwise I'll just make a step that pulls the binaries on the github (I think that you maintain). Thanks for the pointers though . =-----===-----===-----= |
