Ninja

Generates a build.ninja file into the build tree.

Builtin Targets

all

Depends on all targets required by the project, except those with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL set to true.

install

Runs the install step.

install/strip

Добавлено в версии 3.7: Runs the install 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.

install/parallel

Добавлено в версии 3.30: Created only if the INSTALL_PARALLEL global property is ON. Runs the install step for each subdirectory independently and in parallel.

test_prep/<test-name>

Добавлено в версии 4.4: Created only if the CMAKE_TEST_BUILD_DEPENDS variable is enabled. Builds all known build dependencies for the named test, including the executable target invoked by the test, targets referenced by generator expressions in the test command, and explicit BUILD_DEPENDS entries.

Tests with names that are not valid target names are excluded. If multiple tests in different directories share the same name, their dependencies are merged into one test_prep/<test-name> target.

test_prep/all

Добавлено в версии 4.4: Created only if the CMAKE_TEST_BUILD_DEPENDS variable is enabled. Depends on every generated test_prep/<test-name> target.

For each subdirectory sub/dir of the project, additional targets are generated:

sub/dir/all

Добавлено в версии 3.6: Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory.

sub/dir/install

Добавлено в версии 3.7: Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any.

sub/dir/install/strip

Добавлено в версии 3.7: Runs the install step in the subdirectory followed by a CMAKE_STRIP command, if any.

sub/dir/test

Добавлено в версии 3.7: Runs the test step in the subdirectory, if any.

sub/dir/package

Добавлено в версии 3.7: Runs the package step in the subdirectory, if any.

Fortran Support

Добавлено в версии 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

Добавлено в версии 3.15.

The Swift support is experimental, not considered stable, and may change in future releases of CMake.
