Infinite re-globbing on CMake build on clean checkout

[luisldq]

After a clean checkout, cmake configure works fine, but build gives me an infinite re-glob. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong!

It's not you!

Short story: to run the repo at the top level, you'll need to avoid Ninja as a generator as JUCE's juceaide has a quirk where it doesn't support modules with top level code (it runs some globs which ninja chokes on recursively).

This probably needs some docs around it, but there's also very little need to run the inspector outside the context of a project (unless you plan on contributing some tests?...).

There's history here and a discussion with the JUCE team.

Thank you!!! Unix Makefiles to the rescue!

Indeed, I was trying to build this module because I created my own module using your pattern and got the infinite re-glob, so I tried it in this repo to make sure it wasn't anything I was doing, hence the message :-)
