Ninja generator does not allow building from subfolders of the build directory
With the default Makefile generator is possible to go into any subfolder of the build dir and issue make
(or make install
) from there, which results in building only the targets of that subfolder. This is very useful when the project is big and it would take too much time to make
it from the root of the build folder.
This is not the case with the Ninja generator, where only one build.ninja
is generated, in the root of the build folder (while there is one Makefile
in each subfolder, with the Makefile generator).
Is this possible to fix this? That would make the Ninja generator perfect for my workflow.
