premake-ninja

Premake extension to support Ninja, because it's awesome.

Implementation

For each project - configuration pair we create separate .ninja file. For solution we create build.ninja file which imports other .ninja files with subninja command.

Build.ninja file sets phony targets for configuration names so you can build them from command line. And default target is a first configuration name in your project (usually default).
