[Vincent Torri]

Hello

On windows, using MSYS2 + mingw-w64, the compilation of ninja fails :


i have cloned version 1.7.2 :

git clone https://github.com/martine/ninja.git -b v1.7.2

then in the ninja directory :

15:09 $ python configure.py --bootstrap
bootstrapping ninja...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "configure.py", line 320, in <module>
    if platform.msvc_needs_fs():
  File "configure.py", line 84, in msvc_needs_fs
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
  File "E:\Documents\programmes_x64\python-3.6.1\lib\subprocess.py", line 707, in __init__
    restore_signals, start_new_session)
  File "E:\Documents\programmes_x64\python-3.6.1\lib\subprocess.py", line 990, in _execute_child
    startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Le fichier sp▒cifi▒ est introuvable


does someone know what to do to solve that error ?

thank you

I think for mingw you might have to pass `--platform mingw`; the default on Windows is msvc.

it seems to work, indeed. Maybe this should be in the documentation
