Hello,
I just compiled allegro from source into /usr prefix on my slackware system; URL was:
https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/releases/download/5.2.5.0/allegro-5.2.5.0.tar.gz
No errors were reported here during this step.
Now I try to compile dumb, this tarball release:
https://github.com/kode54/dumb/archive/2.0.3.tar.gz
But I get an error during cmake checking stuff:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ /Depot/Temp/rbt/dumb-2.0.3/

The first .log file reports strange errors such as:
/usr/bin/cc -Wall -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wno-unused-variable -O2 -fPIC -fno-strict-overflow -Wno-error -DCC_HAS_ZI -Zi -o CMakeFiles/cmTC_555bf.dir/src.c.o -c /Depot/Temp/rbt/dumb-2.0.3/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/src.c
cc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Zi'; did you mean '-Z'?
But I am not sure if these are the problems.
For some reason the cmake script can not find allegro.
I think some problem comes here:
-- Found Threads: TRUE
-- Found SDL2: /usr/lib64/libSDL2.so;-lpthread
-- Looked for Allegro libraries named .
It oddly enough looks at libraries named "." which perhaps means
that either it could not find anything at that spot; or it tried the
current working directory. I assume some substitution may happen
here that fails. GNU configure also sometimes behaved oddly in
some scripts, not sure. Anyway I report this here - perhaps it
does not work for others, perhaps it does. Perhaps the information
may be useful if someone finds some problem here - I am not
knowledgable enough about cmake to resolve this, but perhaps
a future release of dumb may fix these issues.
