Using my OpenSUSE VM, with cmake version 2.8.1.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Looks like it was added in cmake 2.8.3. Maybe you can upgrade the cmake in your VM, or get a copy of CMakeParseArguments.cmake into the allegro/cmake directory.

I guess I will have to reinstall openSUSE then, because that is the latest cmake on my repository and upgrading to another version has failed spectacularly several times. I've just been avoiding it. I've already downloaded the ISO.

Peter, do you know when the use of cmake parse arguments was added to allegro? Ie. which versions of allegro could I compile on my current setup?

I had some trouble with my cmake 2.8.2 on Windows, so I upgraded to a recent cmake. I think the changes came in very recently in git on the 5.1 branch, because not long ago I didn't have a problem with the older cmake.

Ugh. It made it into 5.1.8. Can't get it to compile. Might as well reinstall then.

Before you do that, please try placing the attached file into the allegro/cmake directory. So we know how to work around it if it comes up again.

I couldn't fix my old VM so I reinstalled. That's why it took me so long. I finally got all the addon dependencies installed and I'm still using cmake 2.8.10.2 since that is the latest version in the repo. I tried it with your cmake file in place, and it came up with a large number of warnings about shadowing a global cmake parse arguments.cmake file. I removed it and it built fine now. (Using 5.1.8) So, sorry, I can't replicate it now. I'll try git next.

Its compile fine with cmake-2.8.12.1 on Windows.
