[PATCH] Get "cmake ; ninja check" to pass.

[Shlomi Fish]

The attached patch gets "cmake ... ; ninja check" (and I presume "cmake ; make check" as well , but not sure) to pass. This blocks the 0.92 release and is listed on http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CMake_Tasks . Please consider applying it.

This is a better patch that makes "make check"/"ninja check" not rebuild all the objects. Thanks to Mc- for the input.

This is a script to download gtest for the make check to work.

This is an improved patch that should work in most cases. Please apply it.

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

Can anyone please apply the latest patch, or let me know why it should be applied as it stands? Ping!

Committed to 14769 and 14770 (I forgot a file in 14769). You'll need to explain how to use ninja, though ^^ just trying "make check" does not seem to do much

Mc: Thanks for applying the patch!

First of all, I tested it now and it seems that "make check" does the same thing as "ninja check". I'm getting this output which seems correct:

Otherwise, there isn't a lot to using ninja in the context of cmake . Just use "ninja -j4 $target" (where -j4 should be replaced with the number of parallel tasks).
