I am following the installation guide, and run into the following issue when issuing

ninja commit

ninja: error: pkg/mc/myr.ninja:1: expected ':', got '|' ($ also escapes ':') build $outdir/lib/sys/sys.o | $outdir/lib/sys/sys.use: mc $srcdir/lib/sy... ^ near here

Not at all a pressing issue, as I don't need Myrddin, and it might be that I am doing something wrong. Thanks a lot for all of the effort you put into this system, it is greatly appreciated!

The syntax failing here is implicit outputs, which looks like it was added in version 1.7. I'll update it to set ninja_required_version = 1.7 so that the version requirement is clear.

Here are some possible workarounds:

Update to ninja 1.7 or newer.
Build samurai: git submodule update --init pkg/samurai/src && make -C pkg/samurai/src.
Disable mc by commenting out subgen 'mc' in pkg/gen.lua (since I think that is the only place I'm using implicit outputs).
