Here the actual status of the Ninja generator.
The generator now uses Ninja's build-in response support.
- MSVC10
Dependency checking is still missing as essential feature,
but the rest is quite good:
The following tests FAILED:
82 - BuildDepends (Failed)
140 - CTestGTMCoverage (Failed)
158 - CTestTestStopTime (Failed)
And it is maybe better on the build server (CTestGTMCoverage/CTestTestStopTime)
- MinGW 4.7
Because 'ar' has problems with \ in response files currently slashes are used
for the patch names, then this ninja patch is needed
https://github.com/martine/ninja/pull/322
Maybe there is a better solution, which would automatically fix a lot of unit
tests.
The RC compiler is set now internally and therefore the unit tests could be run:
The following tests FAILED:
36 - CxxOnly (Failed)
38 - OutDir (Failed)
39 - ObjectLibrary (Failed)
40 - NewlineArgs (Failed)
42 - ExternalOBJ (Failed)
54 - ExportImport (Failed)
62 - Module.GenerateExportHeader (Failed)
72 - Framework (Failed)
77 - CustomCommand (Failed)
80 - BuildDepends (Failed)
85 - CPackComponentsForAll-ZIP-OnePackPerGroup (Failed)
86 - CPackComponentsForAll-ZIP-IgnoreGroup (Failed)
87 - CPackComponentsForAll-ZIP-AllInOne (Failed)
89 - X11 (Failed)
94 - complex (Failed)
95 - complexOneConfig (Failed)
99 - ExternalProject (Failed)
104 - TutorialStep5 (Failed)
105 - TutorialStep6 (Failed)
106 - TutorialStep7 (Failed)
107 - testing (Failed)
108 - wrapping (Failed)
109 - qtwrapping (Failed)
113 - Dependency (Failed)
117 - linkorder1 (Failed)
119 - kwsys (Failed)
120 - SubDir (Failed)
145 - CMakeCommands.target_link_libraries (Failed)
153 - CTestTestStopTime (Failed)
154 - CTestTestSubdir (Failed)
169 - IncludeDirectories (Failed)
177 - CMakeOnly.CheckCXXSymbolExists (Failed)
179 - CMakeOnly.CheckLanguage (Failed)
I assume most errors are because of '/' '\' mismatch.
I propose to also enable Ninja on Windows this would give as more feedback
and maybe we also get some bug fixes. And nobody is forced to use the ninja
generator.
