I had the following idea to speed up the building even more, if a tool
can be build in ninja to list all files that need to be stat when
building a project. These files can be monitored by qtcreator and later
be provided as input again to ninja. So my idea works as follows:
1. Build project using cmake + ninja
2. Get file list of all dependencies by using ninja (something like
ninja -t deplist).
3. Monitor the files using qt creator + qfilesystemwatcher
When the user requests a rebuild:
4. Execute a ninja build command + provide the list of changed files.
This way ninja won't have to stat any file.
5. Ninja builds
Is this feasible ?

Works well under Ubuntu 12.04 + Ninja 1.0.

Peter,
i had 2.8.9-pre3 before, i upgraded to 2.8.9. But only after
deleting
the CMakeLists user file from qtcreator, deleting the build
directory
and restarting qtcreator I was able to get the option to build
with Ninja.
Anyway, it seems to work fine now, and the building is much
faster.
I've uploaded a new version:
- Now out-of-source project files are supported (for cmake projects).
There will be two new files in the build folder CMake.qtcreator
and CMakeLists.txt.user
CMake.qtcreator should be opened with creator.
- out-of-source is default, could be changed by a check box in the
wizard
- shipped ninja.exe (>1.0.0) is found automatically
- generators are updated when cmake is selected in the wizard
- a cmake warning about QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE could be suppressed
when the project doesn't use Qt

Hi Wouter,
you need the latest cmake version, 2.8.9.
Under Tools/Options/Build&Run/CMake
the ninja binary could be set, or have it PATH.

So how do you make it to use ninja ? Should I enable
ninja somewhere ?
Because when I run cmake from the gui it now still
generates nmakefiles.

Qt Creator 2.6 is beta now.
On github I've uploaded a patched version with
Ninja support for CMake
based projects:
https://github.com/syntheticpp/qt-creator/downloads
When CDB is installed
http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qtcreator-2.5/creator-debugger-engines.html#supported-cdb-versions
debugging works even with the 32bit/64bit
compilers of Visual Studio
Express 2012.
Currently I'm trying to bring the patches
upstream, but for 2.6 it
seems too late.
