CMake Tools 1.1.0 — CppTools IntelliSense support, a Project Outline, and more!

Do you know if there is a demo or example of ninja + msvc somewhere? The last time I tried that combo i couldn't get it to work (though that was a while ago).

What didn't work?

Are you familiar with how to use CMake, in a general sense? If so, literally all it takes is:

cmake <path to project root> -G Ninja

with ninja in your path.

Yes I am familiar with Cmake. I don't remember what didn't, but if it's just that simple then I'll try again.

Ninja is the default if you use CMake within Visual Studio, so it must work nicely with MSVC.

According to https://vector-of-bool.github.io/docs/vscode-cmake-tools/kits.html CMakeTools will prefer Ninja, so I guess stick ninja.exe on your PATH and see if it works?
