Ninja generator does not support MSVS TargetDir macro. #492

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Generate a GYP file using the TargetDir macro.
2. Run gyp in Ninja mode.
3. Execute the ninja build.
4. Enjoy following error: bad $-escape (literal $ must be > written as $$)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the macro to have been replaced with the directory of the 
primary output file (see 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c02as0cs.aspx), and the build to 
succeed.
