Dear everyone,

While gentoo-devhelp is a better place for questions, it's been inactive
for years so I sent an email here. Apologies if this is solely for gentoo developers.

There's #gentoo-dev-help

After trying to read cmake.eclass source code, I think separately denoting ninja/make in src_compile and src_install might be possible. But
cmake_build still automatically detects the build type so I am confused.

Take a look at CMAKE_MAKEFILE_GENERATOR variable used in cmake.eclass.
You want to change this from the default to emake if you want to use
make instead of ninja.

I noticed this variable before but it must be set before inherit.

If I try something like:

if ! use ninja; then
CMAKE_MAKEFILE_GENERATOR=emake
fi
inherit cmake xdg ninja-utils

pkgcheck will say report error:
external commands disallowed during metadata regen: 'use ninja'

I asked this question in #gentoo-dev-help.

According to @iamben and @floppy, using the default ninja is best supported, emake would only be preferred if the package fails with ninja.

And apologies again, for bothering with this list,
I was not aware of the IRC.

Best regards
