Hi,Experts
I want to know how to get cmake to show a percentage progress report?
like this
[ 66%] Building CXX object utils/TableGen/CMakeFiles/obj.llvm-tblgen.dir/DFAEmitter.cpp.o
[ 66%] Building CXX object utils/TableGen/CMakeFiles/obj.llvm-tblgen.dir/DFAPacketizerEmitter.cpp.o
[ 66%] Building CXX object utils/TableGen/CMakeFiles/obj.llvm-tblgen.dir/DirectiveEmitter.cpp.o

Look forward reply!

Regards,
Xie

I don’t think CMake can do this.
I believe during the processing CMake has no idea how much there’s left because of the things that can be included conditionally, so there is no way to report a meaningful progress.

I using Ninja as a generator, so can Ninja do this?
And how did others do it?
Thanks.

Last time I used Makefile generator, CMake pre-calculated this.

For ninja, you can configure NINJA_STATUS environment variable.

How should I configure ninja env? Can you describe more detail?
Thank you very much.

yes, I has found it, but it looks like dont work normally.
I set NINJA_STATUS in toolchain.cmake file like this set(ENV{NINJA_STATUS} “[%p/%f/%t]”)
please correct me if I am wrong on this.
Thanks.

You set environment variables in your shell (the program that runs ninja). This is not CMake!
