<p>Generates build.ninja files.</p>
<p>A build.ninja file is generated into the build tree. Recent versions
of the ninja program can build the project through the &#8220;all&#8221; target.
An &#8220;install&#8221; target is also provided.</p>
<p>For each subdirectory <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sub/dir</span></code> of the project, additional targets
are generated:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sub/dir/all</span></code></dt>
<dd>Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory.</dd>
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sub/dir/install</span></code></dt>
<dd>Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any.</dd>
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sub/dir/test</span></code></dt>
<dd>Runs the test step in the subdirectory, if any.</dd>
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sub/dir/package</span></code></dt>

<h2>Fortran Support<a class="headerlink" href="#fortran-support" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Ninja</span></code> generator conditionally supports Fortran when the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ninja</span></code>
tool has the required features. As of this version of CMake the needed
features have not been integrated into upstream Ninja. Kitware maintains
a branch of Ninja with the required features on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/Kitware/ninja/tree/features-for-fortran#readme">github.com/Kitware/ninja</a>.</p>
