Ninja: after build, how to install?

install the executable:

sudo cp ninja /usr/local/bin

and add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:

# nice printing for ninja and bash tab completion
export NINJA_STATUS="[%p %s/%t] "
.

Ninja just runs the commands it's instructed to. To install LLVM as built with CMake, see the LLVM and CMake documentation.

Thanks for the reply, but sorry not helpful.

if i build default cmake without ninja, i can install llvm to /usr without any problem.
but built llvm with ninja, still i couldn't install llvm to /usr.

llvm documentation doesn't have the answer for this question,
llvm cmake generation with ninja, but if i ran default cmake, the installation command failed.

anyway, until find the info, i fallback to default cmake and make.

this issue not closed. still opened.

You did not say what issue you were having. Can you share an error message?

But I think what @martine was trying to say is that's it's likely not a ninja bug.

You should file this bug in the cmake or llvm tracker. I'm sure they can help you! :)

Hi @8l, it's very old issue but ninja install does installation job after llvm build.

$ cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/xxx/devlibs -G Ninja
$ ninja
$ ninja install
