Hi all, Ninja does not clean out non-empty directories.
Given this CMakeLists.txt: ====== cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) add_custom_command( OUTPUT dir COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E make_directory dir COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E touch dir/file ) add_custom_target( dir-target DEPENDS dir ) ====== the follow commands work fine: $ cmake -GUnix Makefiles srcdir ... $ make Scanning dependencies of target dir-target [100%] Generating dir [100%] Built target dir-target $ make clean $ But with Ninja, this fails: $ cmake -GNina srcdir .. $ ninja [1/1] Generating dir $ ninja clean [1/1] Cleaning all built files... FAILED: /home/oever/.nix-profile/bin/ninja -t clean ninja: error: remove(dir): Directory not empty Cleaning... 0 files. ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. I assume this is a bug. I tried creating a bug db account, but could not get past the captcha, so I'm writing here.
