[CMake] Ninja on windows ( latest ninja from git, cmake 2.8.9 )

[Malfettone, Kris]

So I think I found the issue.  When the include directories are specified via the network path ( \\machine\dir\ ) vs. a drive letter ( N:\dir ) ninja always thinks they are out of date.  This is a pretty big hurdle for us since our toolchain files can be mapped to different drives for different users so our builds reference the network paths.

This seems like a bug in ninja, but it could also be a problem with the Windows APIs used to get the information.  Any thoughts?

If those two machines have time discrepancy (no time synchronization) then the file on the network share may appear to be "in the future" of your local file, your build tree is local right?

Just try to check the date on the network file server w.r.t. to the time on your local machine.
or
copy the file locally and retry.
