Hello everyone, This weekend I started to work on a new generator for Ninja. I did not know the internal architecture of CMake so I spent most of my time understanding how it works. I have the very little beginning of something in a local topic branch. It is not able to bootstrap a simple helloworld project yet. I have attached a git log and a git log -p of what I have done so far. Not so much but I will work on it more next weekend.
Also, I have few questions about CMake internal architecture. I don't really understand how global and local generator work together? Where should I put my code? in the global or in the local one? I have taken most of the inspiration from the UnixMakefile generator but the Ninja generator has on major difference: Ninja is not design to work in a recursive form. I did some experiment and all the automatic step counting of Ninja does not make sense in a recursive approach. So, I think I should put all my code only in the global generator and generate only one build.ninja file per project. Any help is welcome. Regards, -- Nicolas Desprès
