Hi all,
I cannot run the downloaded release 1.6/1.5.3 on my opensuse 13.1 linux box.
NOTE: I did not try older releases.
> strace ~/ninja
execve("/home/w/ninja", ["/home/w/ninja"], [/* 118 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)

Linux linux 3.11.10-29-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 5 16:24:00 UTC 2015 (338c513) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
This is sad, since I want to help spread Ninja and created a plugin for Jenkins which automatically downloads and installs Ninja on a build node. But if the downloaded ninja fails to run, the plugin is nearly useless.

It seems likely the provided Linux binary is for 64-bit Linux. I haven't seen a 32-bit Linux system in quite a while! You should be able to build Ninja on an OpenSUSE system with little trouble.

Quite sure! But I am more focused on the Jenkins installer plugin for ninja

You should install ninja from package manager, or just download sources and

build them on build node instead of downloading binary.

nodes, which require python to be installed.
Is it possible to cross-compile ninja on linux for windows and os X? At least
the configure.py suggest that (--platform)?

Unfortunately, building ninja on the build node is not an option for Windows
nodes, which require python to be installed.
Does the prebuilt Windows binary work for you? I think the Windows binary might even be 32-bit (but I'm not sure).

they are 64 bit, too.
Would be nice if the binaries were all 32 bit, since each 64-bit OS can run
32-bit binaries, but not vice versa.

I cannot tell about the windows binaries, since I'm on Linux. But I guess,
they are 64 bit, too.
They're (currently) 32-bit:
$ file ~/Downloads/ninja.exe
/Users/thakis/Downloads/ninja.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit
Would be nice if the binaries were all 32 bit, since each 64-bit OS can run
32-bit binaries, but not vice versa.
The 64-bit binaries are a tad faster and run almost everywhere. (The Windows binaries being 32-bit is a bit of an accident.) Ninja's easy to build, people who need 32-bit binaries can build them themselves, I feel.

make, that I would like other be using ninja. And those who already use cmake
can get the performance benefit easily (by just switching the generator to
ninja).
