Building c++ project on Windows with CMake, Clang and Ninja

Question

I currently have cmake, clang and ninja installed on windows. I am trying to use CMake to generate a ninja build file to compile a very simple hello world program.

Answer 1

Don't know if it can be helpful but I had the same error. Now I can compile with clang(3.7.1)/ninja(1.6)/cmake(3.4.1) on Windows performing the following actions in a build directory:

1. load the relevant vcvarsXX.bat file (e.g. "\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86)
2. set both CC and CXX to clang-cl (instead of clang and clang++)
3. run cmake -G Ninja
4. run cmake --build .
