I will time box it and see if I can do it in few days, if not we need to figure out if it can be done like a sponsored feature or something. Actually same story with make file generators, doesn't look like they support response files for obj either. >There was work to reduce the size of the generated build.ninja file. >More work could be done, but the projects I was looking at would only get >marginal improvements from other techniques (though other projects with >different flag quantities might >show other things to improve). What version >of CMake are you using? 3.5.1 atm, 84 mb takes around 3-4 seconds for ninja to parse on my machine, which makes ninja slightly useless an fast incremental builds tool, which is a shame. --Ben -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
