[cfe-dev] [LLVMdev] Ninja build available for Visual Studio users

[Nikola Smiljanic]

I have a slightly off topic problem that is related to VS and CMake and
this seems like a good time to ask for some help.

VS keeps complaining that some projects are out of date every time I start
a debugging session.

I checkout llvm and clang
I run cmake -G Visual Studio 2010
I build all projects from the solution
I mark clang as the startup project

After I hit F5 I'm presented with a list of projects that
are supposedly out of date.

I know that this problem is usually about cyclic dependencies or file time
stamps that have changed (pre or post compile steps). I wrote a small
python script to check for cycles but couldn't find any. I couldn't check
my time stamp assumption since CMake is mostly magic to me :)

I've talked to Francois about this and he says that he never had this
problem. I even tried installing XP under VM to have a fresh start but the
same thing happens.
