Ninja
-----
Generates ``build.ninja`` files.
A ``build.ninja`` file is generated into the build tree. Use the ninja
program to build the project through the ``all`` target and install the
project through the ``install`` (or ``install/strip``) target.
For each subdirectory ``sub/dir`` of the project, additional targets
are generated:
``sub/dir/all``
.. versionadded:: 3.6
Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory.
``sub/dir/install``
.. versionadded:: 3.7
Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any.
``sub/dir/install/strip``
.. versionadded:: 3.7
Runs the install step in the subdirectory followed by a ``CMAKE_STRIP`` command,
if any.
The ``CMAKE_STRIP`` variable will contain the platform's ``strip`` utility, which
removes symbols information from generated binaries.
``sub/dir/test``
.. versionadded:: 3.7
Runs the test step in the subdirectory, if any.
``sub/dir/package``
.. versionadded:: 3.7
Runs the package step in the subdirectory, if any.
Fortran Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. versionadded:: 3.7
The ``Ninja`` generator conditionally supports Fortran when the ``ninja``
tool is at least version 1.10 (which has the required features).
Swift Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. versionadded:: 3.15
The Swift support is experimental, not considered stable, and may change
in future releases of CMake.
See Also
^^^^^^^^
.. versionadded:: 3.17
The :generator:`Ninja Multi-Config` generator is similar to the ``Ninja``
generator, but generates multiple configurations at once.
