CMakeLists.txt: Use GTest::gtest instead of gtest This fixes the case where GTEST_ROOT is set to point to a local GoogleTest installation (see example below). Note that this needs a work-around for a subtle GTest 1.10.0: - When downloading, building then installing googletest-1.10.0, the installation directory contains CMake files that are picked later by Ninja's find_package() function properly, and which define the GTest::gtest target. This is the target name that should be used by projects that depend on GoogleTest, per the official documentation. - When instead 1.10.0, i.e. the same version, is downloaded and used locally with FetchContent_Declare() + FetchContent_MakeAvailable(), then only the `gtest` target will be defined. This was fixed in 1.11.0, where this use case properly defines GTest::gtest instead. The work-around checks for the definition of GTest::gtest after the FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest) call. If not defined, an alias to `gtest` is created instead. This ensures the code works with more recent GoogleTest releases as well.
Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed. https://ninja-build.org/
See the manual or doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution for background and more details.
Binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows are available on GitHub. Run ./ninja -h for Ninja help.
Installation is not necessary because the only required file is the resulting ninja binary. However, to enable features like Bash completion and Emacs and Vim editing modes, some files in misc/ must be copied to appropriate locations.
If you're interested in making changes to Ninja, read CONTRIBUTING.md first.
You can either build Ninja via the custom generator script written in Python or via CMake. For more details see the wiki.
./configure.py --bootstrap
This will generate the ninja binary and a build.ninja file you can now use to build Ninja with itself.
cmake -Bbuild-cmake cmake --build build-cmake
The ninja binary will now be inside the build-cmake directory (you can choose any other name you like).
To run the unit tests:
./build-cmake/ninja_test
