I played a bit with the Ninja generator on Windows,
and added some hacks to make it a bit running:
https://github.com/syntheticpp/CMake/commit/0a55b61271106eb7c3319340f2c54f6bab3c0f8b
Here are the problems I found so far:
- Paths like 'c:\' - Ninja now supports colon escaping "c:" -> "c$:"
Is there a single place where the escaping could be done?
Can we use Posix paths in the windows ninja generator instead of windows
paths? I am guessing ninja would be happier with them. So, c:/, as
for the :, there should be a way to escape that depends on the
generator. I know the makefile ones have a place.
- Backslashes: could they also be replaced at a single place?
Would you not need to do that if you did / instead of \.
- Finding the msvc compiler fails because TARGET_IMPLIB is empty
and to the linker /implib: is passed without an argument.
Why is TARGET_IMPLIB empty?
Sounds like it is missing from the platform file, or the right platform
file is not getting loaded.
- Some targets have the .exe extension, but the rule misses the .exe.
Sounds like a bug in the ninja generator.
- When && is used for calling multiple command a 'cmd.exe /c' call is
necessary.
- How it is possible to choose a compiler (msvc, mingw)?
I think it would work like the make generators. You set CC and CXX
before running CMake, or specify them in cmake-gui.
Glad you are working on this.
Thanks!
