We can certainly do that, but the ninja binary would need to be

OK, so is there a ninja binary that I can download right now that will
work if I change the cmake files for cmake to build the ninja generator
on windows? If so, where is it? My idea is to try it on my machine. If
it works I will push the change into next that enables ninja on windows
and setup a dashboard that pulls ninja from that spot each night. When
cmake is changed to work with master ninja if someone updates that
binary, then it will pull that and just work. That is what I have been
doing with jom.
That would be Peter Kummel's ninja. But what I would suggest we do,
as I suggested before, is to use an internal variable to turn on the
Ninja generator on Windows and Mac. This way, we can safely merge
ninja-generator into master without confusing users on Windows or
Mac by shipping a non-working Ninja generator in the next release,
while keeping the ability to test (on the dashboard and otherwise).
I have no idea what the timeframe for the Windows and Mac people
is, but I really would like the Ninja generator to be available on
non-Windows/Mac platforms in 2.8.8.
Sounds fair enough.
Yes, please enable the ninja generator for Linux in 2.8.8. I don't
think I will fix the cmake-windows support soon and don't know if
there is anyone else working on it.
Maybe having ninja support on Linux attracts interested people
also on the other platforms.
(and I assume Peter C. gets really annoyed if the ninja support
will be postponed again)
