The linker used in my current development environment (running on Windows) does not accept the newline as an argument delimiter. This triggers linker error (under -G Ninja). Are there ways to control it?
Source/cmNinjaNormalTargetGenerator.cxx#L406-410 says that the delimiter only depends on IsGCCOnWindows() and there seems to be no control related properties/variables existed.
What platform is this? I suspect it would need a new toolchain-level variable to let the generator know this information. Of course, ninja itself only supports generating response files (using whatever support it has there) with a newline delimiter and I don’t think that will change anytime soon…
You could write a wrapper around your compiler that detects the response file argument and changes the contents as needed before invoking the compiler itself.
In the past I thought already about synchronizing Ninja and Make newline behavior. With the additional goal to add a CMake variable which can override the default setting.
I think a TI compiler issue (and this) can be fixed by adding a newline in Make.
