Process all file from current directory

[xancorreu]

Hi another time,

I read the manual, but I can't find how to process a set of files with
specific matching name. I'm interested in all files with .o extension in
the directory mydirectory.

Something like:

rule cc
command = clang++ -o $out $in
description = Execuciￜ de clang++ (thanks for the patch ;)

build mydirectory/[file].out: cc mydirectory/[file].cpp


Is it possible? How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Xan.

It is not possible by design, the "ninja-way" is to write a script that generate ninja build file with all files in the directory. See  http://martine.github.com/ninja/manual.html

A pain for me, so.

Look at gyp or CMake, both have ninja output, and both can describe "compile all files that matches the glob expression to a binary".

If it helps any, look at the build.ninja used by Ninja itself:

As Elazar said, you should generate it with a script.
