[CMake] CMake + Ninja

[Malfettone, Kris]

I was wondering if there was any plans to add the feature mentioned below?
        That said, a way of saying "build every target in this subdirectory"
        (for example, by specifying that subdirectory as a target on the command line) would be a nice feature to have.

This would be very useful to me and I haven't heard any more mentions about it here on the mailing list.

Hi Clifford,

The attached patch should add support for TARGET_INSTALLNAME_DIR.
Please let me know if it works -- it's untested, as I don't have easy access to a Mac.

Ninja doesn't work that way.  You can of course list specific targets to build on the command line.

That said, a way of saying "build every target in this subdirectory"
(for example, by specifying that subdirectory as a target on the command line) would be a nice feature to have.

Thanks,
