I am running into an issue with 3.17.0 (installed from kitware ppa). When I use Ninja generator I see:

ninja: error: ‘cmake\_object\_order\_depends\_target\_ittnotify\_’, needed by ‘cmake\_object\_order\_depends\_target\_fooib\_’, missing and no known rule to make it

but if I uninstall 3.17 and install 3.16.5 ninja works well.

@powderluv that doesn’t happen in general so there must be something about what your project is doing that triggers the problem. Please try to narrow it down to a small example and then open an issue on the [CMake Issue Tracker](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues).
