| Ninja |
| ----- |
| |
| Generates build.ninja files. |
| |
| A build.ninja file is generated into the build tree. Recent versions |
| of the ninja program can build the project through the ``all`` target. |
| An ``install`` target is also provided. |
| |
| For each subdirectory ``sub/dir`` of the project, additional targets |
| are generated: |
| |
| ``sub/dir/all`` |
| Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory. |
| |
| ``sub/dir/install`` |
| Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any. |
| |
| ``sub/dir/test`` |
| Runs the test step in the subdirectory, if any. |
| |
| ``sub/dir/package`` |
| Runs the package step in the subdirectory, if any. |
| |
| Fortran Support |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| The ``Ninja`` generator conditionally supports Fortran when the ``ninja`` |
| tool has the required features. As of this version of CMake the needed |
| features have not been integrated into upstream Ninja. Kitware maintains |
| a branch of Ninja with the required features on `github.com/Kitware/ninja`_. |
