[cmake-developers] Why not disable the Unix Makefiles generator for Darwin?

[Claus Klein]

I am wondering why Nina generator is disabled on Darwin.
I have just the same problems with Unix Makefile generator?

Or it would be nice to enable Ninja too for Darwin, I need it to cross  
compile my projects ...

The test is based on current nightly build.

But I use the newest MacPorts gcc-4.7:

$ sw_vers
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.5.8
BuildVersion:	9L30

$ i386-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.7.1 --version
i386-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.7.1 (MacPorts gcc47 4.7.1_1) 4.7.1

I make sure, that this generator and tools are used while cmake  
selftest!

export CC=/opt/local/bin/i386-apple-darwin9-gcc-mp-4.7
export CXX=/opt/local/bin/i386-apple-darwin9-g++-mp-4.7
export MAKECOMMAND=/opt/local/bin/gmake
