One problem with this patch is that it moves the initialization of C
and CXX languages until after the RC initialization which tries to
match the location of the C/CXX compilers.  Have a look at these:

  http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=e3a1f727
  http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=6547f369

Peter, can you explain why this is needed for Ninja but not the
other generators?  Why does the logic belong in that method?

Thanks,
-Brad



It wasn't clear to me why it works with other generators so I
patched only the ninja code. Maybe there is a better solution,
but I couldn't figure it out.


But the current Ninja generator does not work. Any variables not set in 
Modules/CMakeCCompiler.cmake.in get no value. E.g. SET_MSVC_CXX_ARCHITECTURE_ID 
stays empty, because it's set it Modules/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake.in. Since the 
all other generators work it seams to my like a Ninja problem, where 
EnableLanguage() of the base class isn't called correctly.

I'm sorry, but atm I have absolutely not time to fix this issue. And I could not simply 
apply your patch because it could have side effects which introduce other bugs, things

are not very decoupled in cmake's code base.

If you have time, try to figure out the cmake way of enabling a language and 
rewrite
void cmGlobalNinjaGenerator::EnableLanguage().

There are two related tickets for this:

 Revert "Ninja: use absolute paths for sources and includes"

 This reverts commit df7f1790b7cf69def45f55cb03ce0f9cef1eddb5.

 It shows that absolute paths breaks dependency tracing and adds
 lot of emtpy build commands.

Please take a look.

The commit is a revert of a commit only some hours before, so effectively 
nothing has
changed. But maybe there is a memory effect in the build dir when it is not a clean build. 
Otherwise I've no idea what happened, and would assume no Ninja is installed.

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)

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.

That might be fixed just now (perhaps) by stuff that I merged into

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.

I think the only missing feature was response file support, but I am
not entirely sure.

Well, the way that the branch supports response files is different to
the way that Ninja master supports them (the branch uses some kind of
hack to figure out what the command arguments are and copies those
into a response file, while on master the generator is responsible
for deciding on the contents of the response file using the "rspfile"
variable as documented here [1]).  The branch happens to work without
any modifications to CMake but we will need to add support for rspfile
for things to work on master.

All the code is already in ninja-generator in the staging repository,
it just needs to be turned on (i.e. by commenting out the if
statement).

We can certainly do that, but the ninja binary would need to be
switched as soon as we get around to using rspfile in Ninja (and
no sooner).

I don't think it's worth adding detection support for a now-obsolete
version of Ninja, but we can certainly check for rspfile support once
we start using that in CMake.

I am a bit confused.   What are the features on someone else's branch

What will it take to get this:

I would be OK, with a non-standard ninja as long as those patches are 
eventually going to be in ninja.  I don't like having ninja windows 
cmake support outside of the main cmake dev tree.  Could we do this:


1. integrate cmake windows ninja support into next
2. run a dashboard that uses a given ninja binary?

My goal would be to make sure cmake windows ninja keeps building and 
working and other ninja work does not break the existing cmake windows 
support.



I have been asking Windows developers to enable the generator locally
for their own development by commenting out the IF(NOT WIN32) block.
Perhaps once we set up Windows dashboards it would be better to
introduce an internal variable (CMAKE_USE_NINJA?) which can be used
to enable this generator on Windows, and have the dashboards use it.

I would rather have it on by default and print some warning if it finds 
the "wrong" ninja, one that does not have the required patches.

The Ninja generator is disabled on Windows as it still doesn't yet
work correctly with Ninja's master branch.  It works to some degree
with someone else's branch, but one of the required features on that
branch (response file support) was recently merged into Ninja master,
so hopefully someone on Windows will be able to add the necessary
support to CMake soon.  I would hold off on setting up a dashboard
for Windows until we can at least build CMake with Ninja master.

I have been asking Windows developers to enable the generator locally
for their own development by commenting out the IF(NOT WIN32) block.
Perhaps once we set up Windows dashboards it would be better to
introduce an internal variable (CMAKE_USE_NINJA?) which can be used
to enable this generator on Windows, and have the dashboards use it.
