There is a workaround about this issue: Create the binary_dir (build) outside the source_dir! Than every path to source files are absolute ;-)
i.e.: clausklein$ make -n check mkdir -p ../.build-samples-Debug cd ../.build-samples-Debug && cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/local/bin/clang++ /Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/samples ln -sf /Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/samples/../.build-samples-Debug/compile_commands.json . run-clang-tidy.py -header-filter='/Users/clausklein/Workspace/cpp/samples/.*' -checks='-*,misc-*,boost-*,cert-*,-misc-unused-parameters' | tee run-clang-tidy.log 2>&1 egrep '\b(warning|error):' run-clang-tidy.log | perl -pe 's/(^.*) (warning|error):/\2/' | sort -u clausklein$ -Claus > Am 23.07.2019 um 13:03 schrieb Brad King <brad.k...@kitware.com>: > > On 7/22/19 4:47 PM, Claus Klein wrote: >> Than I realized , the ninja.rules files contains NO absolute paths >> to target source and header files. > > Historically the Ninja ecosystem encourages use of relative paths. > There is an issue for this in CMake: > > https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/13894#note_233789 > > and fixing it correctly depends on fixing another issue in Ninja: > > https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/1251 > > -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
