Anyone who is interested in trying the Ninja generator with<br>
their own projects is welcome to clone my repository at:<br>

<br>
and to report any issues encountered. Note that the generator is<br>
currently only known to work on Linux. To select the Ninja generator<br>
you can pass the option "-G Ninja" on the cmake command line.<br></blockquote></div><br>Gave it a whirl with BRL-CAD. You caught me out fair and square on one unspecified dependency that no other build system has caught, which is kinda cool.<br>
<br>It seems to mostly build, but it's not recognizing that it's done (if I re-run ninja, it redoes most of the build). This could be something I'm not doing right or expected ninja behavior at this stage, but I thought I'd mention it.<br>
<br>It looks like various custom commands aren't running (some tcl related stuff, docbook documentation generation) - are custom commands currently supported?<br><br>For the core program building though, looks like it succeeded quite handily - very nice! Unfortunately, my time delta calculation was one of the targets not built (or at least I don't see its output) so I'm not sure what the time difference is yet ;-).<br>
<br>Cheers, and nice work!<br><br>CY<br>
