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.
Can you bring that up on the ninja mailing list? Is that a patch that
could go upstream ninja?
The RC compiler is set now internally and therefore the unit tests could
be run:
The following tests FAILED:
36 - CxxOnly (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.
Sorry, no can do. If it is there, people will expect it to work for
their project. Right now it is not working, so I don't want to enable
it. The only feedback we will get, is these things are broken. We know
what is broken, what more feedback do we need?
To move forward on windows, I will change the dashboard to use ninja
master. Right now it is still using your branch on git and is failing a
bunch of tests. Also, it sounds like we took a step backwards with MinGW
and the response files. Maybe until we figure that out we should
disable response files for MinGW?
Perhaps we can try one of the forks that has depend information for
MSVC? If one of those works and the BuildDepends test passes, and we
can get MinGW back into working shape, then we can enable ninja for Windows.
