I would guess that you’re trying to use the Ninja generator in a plain cmd.exe window or something. You need to load the Visual Studio toolchain into the environment first. This can be done either through the Developer Prompts in the start menu or by loading vcvarsall.bat in an existing shell environment.

3

I called that ```
call “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat” -arch=x64


then 

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DLAF_BACKEND=skia -DSKIA_DIR=C:\deps\skia -DSKIA_LIBRARY_DIR=C:\deps\skia\out\Release-x64 -DSKIA_LIBRARY=C:\deps\skia\out\Release-x64\skia.lib -G Ninja ..
4

Does a simple CMake project work with the Ninja generator at least? If a simple one doesn’t work, something else is still out of whack before trying it on a full project.

5

what would be the best way to do that?

6

fixed I dowgraded my Ninja version and it worked fine probably a ninja bug(go down one ver from latest)

7

Out of curiosity, what versions of ninja weren’t working and ended up working?

8

latest did not work the one before worked

9

Do you have version numbers? Was it 1.10.2 and 1.10.1 or 1.9.x?

10

if I remember I changed to 1.10.1 and it worked

11

Thanks.

@brad.king It looks like there might be some problem with ninja 1.10.2 on Windows here, though more details will likely be needed.

12

yea sorry I don’t realy have more detail
