Hi, We use Eigen in a few projects, and it has optional support for Fortran. It seems that the way it probes for a working Fortran compiler causes the Ninja generator to error out.
CMake Error: The "Ninja" generator does not support the language "Fortran" yet. -- The Fortran compiler identification is unknown CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeFortranInformation.cmake:27 (GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT): get_filename_component called with incorrect number of arguments Call Stack (most recent call first): blas/CMakeLists.txt:9 (enable_language) CMake Error: The "Ninja" generator does not support the language "Fortran" yet. CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeFortranInformation.cmake:27 (GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT): get_filename_component called with incorrect number of arguments Call Stack (most recent call first): lapack/CMakeLists.txt:9 (enable_language) I could suggest a new option for the project, but I was wondering if anyone involved in the Ninja generator has thoughts on when (if) Fortran will be supported, and more generally if there is a good way to test for a language, such as Fortran, when building a project. I haven't looked too deeply at their approach, but this is the only thing that seems to be a problem for us in using Eigen (which is a C++ meta-template library with some optional Fortran code compiled and wrapped when a working compiler is available).
