CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:24 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findraylib.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "raylib", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "raylib" (requested
  version 3.5.0) with any of the following names:

    raylibConfig.cmake
    raylib-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "raylib" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "raylib_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "raylib"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I've found that the PLATFORM variable is Desktop for some reason in vendor/raylib/src/CMakeLists.txt instead of Raspberry Pi. For now I've manually edited the CMakeLists.txt to force it to run the code in the Raspberry Pi elseif block, and it seems to have mostly worked. It passes all tests except for cli 1) should execute on a script and 2) should display the help.

Surprised that platform gets messed up. Good find :+1:

There have been some changes in the cmake since 3.5.0, so this is due for an upgrade to raylib 3.7

This could possibly be related to https://github.com/RobLoach/node-raylib/issues/87#issuecomment-849488475.
