can not find build.ninja when run it in windows

[GreameLee]

I compile it successfully and it shows like:

>python configure.py --bootstrap

and run the ninja -help successfully but when run ninja -v it shows:

>ninja -v

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified.

not sure, but fortunately you don't have to call ninja to rebuild itself, the --bootstrap option does it for you

bootstrap complete. rebuilding...

ninja -v returning this message is pretty normal. It means you are running Ninja from a directory that does not have a build.ninja file to read from.

The -v is the verbose flag, do you want to run ninja --version instead?
