Comment 7 for bug 1554143

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).
