[PATCH v2] configure: add --ninja option
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 3 years, 8 months ago
On Windows it is not possible to invoke a Python script as $NINJA.
If ninja is present use it directly, while if it is not we can
keep using ninjatool.

I've just tested this, but it gives me a python stacktrace if I run it without
passing a --ninja argument to configure. With a bit of extra debugging added to see
what is being generated:

###XXX ['C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja', '--version']

ERROR: meson setup failed

It seems that it doesn't like parsing the discovered ninja path. I can make configure
work by passing --ninja=ninja to configure which falls back to PATH and appears to do
the right thing:

###XXX ['ninja', '--version']
Found ninja.EXE-1.10.1 at C:\msys64\mingw64\bin/ninja.EXE

I tried a few other things too:

 --ninja=C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja - fails
 --ninja=C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja.exe - works
 --ninja=ninja.exe - works
 --ninja=/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja - fails similar as above
 --ninja=/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/ninja.exe - works
 --ninja=C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\ninja - fails similar as above
 --ninja=C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\ninja.exe - works

From these tests it looks as if the .exe prefix is required when using a full path to
the ninja executable.


ATB,

Mark.

Thanks, that might be worth fixing in Meson.
