Peter, I am very interested in the ninja generator and gave it a try for one of my very large projects. Unfortunately, I have approximately 100 targets all with the same output name(simple) but in CMake I give them all unique target names(dot separated name built from their place in the directory tree). This works fine for Makefiles however the ninja generator seems to be adding: # Shortcut target for the output name. build simple: phony MD/MDF/Parsers/BX/BLS/v1_1/utils/simple/simple # Shortcut target for the target name. build BX.BLS.v1_1.simple: phony simple Which then causes the following from ninja: ninja: WARNING: multiple rules generate simple. build will not be correct; continuing anyway
Is there a way to disable these shortcut targets? Even changing my target names to a different format is a possibility if that is necessary. -Kris -----Original Message----- From: cmake-boun...@cmake.org [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Peter Collingbourne Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 2:55 PM To: Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin Cc: CMake ML Subject: Re: [CMake] FYI - From Ninja-build mailing list - Fwd: Proposal: restat rules On Wed, Sep 07, 2011 at 11:04:42PM -0400, Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin wrote: > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Peter Collingbourne <pe...@pcc.me.uk> > Date: Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 9:17 PM > Subject: Proposal: restat rules > To: ninja-bu...@googlegroups.com FWIW, the Ninja generator I have been working on is based on work by Nicolas Despres, and has been successfully used to compile a number of large open source projects, including CMake itself, LLVM/Clang, OpenCV and Bullet Physics. I am planning to submit the Ninja generator as a patch to CMake upstream once it has been put through more exhaustive testing and certain known issues have been resolved (my post to ninja-build being one of them). Anyone who is interested in trying the Ninja generator with their own projects is welcome to clone my repository at: https://github.com/pcc/CMake/tree/ninja-generator and to report any issues encountered. Note that the generator is currently only known to work on Linux. To select the Ninja generator you can pass the option "-G Ninja" on the cmake command line.
