Hi
I am trying to use the Ninja generator to compile on a Windows machine using
the Visual Studio 11 compilers.
From a VS11 console I run cmake (version: 2.8.11.2 ):
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=MSVC ..
I then run Ninja (version 1.4.0)
ninja -v
and all appears well until the final link:
[70/70] cmd.exe /c cd . && c:\cygwin\bin\ld.exe /lib /nologo
.... <snip>....
/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
Cygwin is in my path but I am surprised that I appear to be using it to Link?
This comment is based just on what others have reported about MSVC and
Cygwin builds of PLplot since I have no direct experience with either
MSVC or Cygwin.
I think you will find the PATH profoundly affects what cmake does so I
suggest you do the obvious; remove Cygwin from your PATH for MSVC
builds and try again. This assures, for example, you are using a
Windows version of CMake rather than a Cygwin one. But that is just
one reason to remove Cygwin from your PATH for MSVC builds, and I am
positive from my Linux and MinGW/MSYS/Wine experience there are many
others.
