[lldb-dev] Is anyone using the LLDB CMake standalone build?

[René J.V. Bertin]

So lldb is supposed to build with cmake on OS X. Last time I tried (to get lldb-mi on OS X 10.9), I failed to get that to work.
Maybe I need to fetch the lldb tree in an llvm tree I fetched first?

Or it's just that the Xcode generator is flaky, and tends to generate "corrupt" projects (in my experience that's true for most all KDE cmake projects).

Seems it should be possible to set up Xcode to use (ninja as/with) an external build system ... Or you could try KDevelop, which supports cmake projects and ninja "natively" (i.e. with plugins).
Out of curiosity, does the ninja generator generate files that allow the equivalent of `make help` to get a list of known targets?
And what about install/fast?
