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
New in version 3.7: Runs the install followed by a
CMAKE_STRIP
command, if any.The
CMAKE_STRIP
variable will contain the platform'sstrip
utility, which removes symbols information from generated binaries.
install/parallel
New in version 3.30: Created only if the
INSTALL_PARALLEL
global property isON
. Runs the install step for each subdirectory independently and in parallel.
For each subdirectory sub/dir
of the project, additional targets
are generated:
sub/dir/all
New in version 3.6: Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory.
sub/dir/install
New in version 3.7: Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any.
sub/dir/install/strip

CMAKE_STRIP
command, if any.

sub/dir/package

Fortran Support¶
New in version 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¶
New in version 3.15.
The Swift support is experimental, not considered stable, and may change in future releases of CMake.
See Also¶

generator is similar to the Ninja
generator, but generates multiple configurations at once.
