Writting cmake script is one solution but since (at least when I started the Ninja Generator) Ninja uses $in as input file for the build statement it can be hard to pass to the cmake script. I had a discussion on this email some month ago about how to pass argument to the cmake script. Maybe it will work using -D option. Not sure about that. It is old in my mind and I have to check this out again. In a general manner I wanted to prevent Ninja to spawn a shell which in turn parse the command since it is not that portable on Windows and thus to provide an alternative syntax to just spawn a process. Something closer to "execute_process" than "system" to say it shortly. -- Nicolas Desprès
