[cmake-developers] ninja broken on windows?

[Bill Hoffman]

OK, so ninja does not seem to work on windows for me...

I got ninja from here:

  git://github.com/martine/ninja.git
branch master

I got cmake from here:
   remotes/stage/ninja-generator


I removed the if(UNIX) in the cmake tree and built cmake with ninja 
support.

I have tried with both spaces in the path and without, and the first 
compiler test fails with these errors:


$ less CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log

So, the dashboard would be pretty boring at this point with a total 
failure... :)
