Peter,
I am very interested in the ninja generator and gave it a try for one of my
very large projects. Unfortunately, I have approximately 100 targets all with
the same output name(simple) but in CMake I give them all unique target
names(dot separated name built from their place in the directory tree). This
works fine for Makefiles however the ninja generator seems to be adding:
# Shortcut target for the output name.
build simple: phony MD/MDF/Parsers/BX/BLS/v1_1/utils/simple/simple
# Shortcut target for the target name.
build BX.BLS.v1_1.simple: phony simple
Which then causes the following from ninja:
ninja: WARNING: multiple rules generate simple. build will not be
correct; continuing anyway
Is there a way to disable these shortcut targets? Even changing my target
names to a different format is a possibility if that is necessary.
-Kris

FWIW, the Ninja generator I have been working on is based on work by Nicolas
Despres, and has been successfully used to compile a number of large open
source projects, including CMake itself, LLVM/Clang, OpenCV and Bullet Physics.
I am planning to submit the Ninja generator as a patch to CMake upstream once
it has been put through more exhaustive testing and certain known issues have
been resolved (my post to ninja-build being one of them).
Anyone who is interested in trying the Ninja generator with their own projects
is welcome to clone my repository at:
https://github.com/pcc/CMake/tree/ninja-generator
and to report any issues encountered. Note that the generator is currently
only known to work on Linux. To select the Ninja generator you can pass the
option "-G Ninja" on the cmake command line.
Thanks,

Peter
