I want to use Ninja generator with the MSVC compiler. How do I do this on Windows? Is there a step by step guide?

go2sh commented 5 years ago

Have you tried to download ninja and added it to the PATH variable? Should be sufficient, but I have never tried it.

I use it with ninja and windows, but I use the Minw64 compiler

I had some troubles using Visual Studio Community 2017 with ninja. There is also not alot of good information on this topic. I'm not an expert in VS but it seems that the build environment is quite path and environment dependent. For example here is an example without cmake integration. It seems that you have to set the compiler environment accordingly with vcvarsall.bat in one shell. Then you can call ninja.

At the moment i just use the VS2017 generator instead of ninja and i can still build from VS Code using this nice extension.

I'll try to create a tutorial section in the docs. But it might take some time. Maybe someone like to volunteer. ;-).
