Description Marek Szuba archtester gentoo-dev 2016-08-16 10:31:08 UTC 
The latest stable version of app-doc/doxygen does not build with CMAKE_MAKEFILE_GENERATOR set to 'ninja', with the compile stage failing immediately with the error mentioned in the summary. The offending line in build.ninja is

COMMAND = cd /var/tmp/portage/app-doc/doxygen-1.8.11-r2/work/doxygen-1.8.11/src && /usr/bin/flex $(LEX_FLAGS) -PscannerYY -o/var/tmp/portage/app-doc/doxygen-1.8.11-r2/work/doxygen-1.8.11_build/generated_src/scanner.cpp scanner.l

suggesting the way flags are passed to flex is currently not Ninja-compatible.

There doesn't seem to be an upstream bug for this yet.

This seems to be fixed in 1.8.12, but I think this should get fixed in stable and this issue should block bug 557992

To fix the issue in stable ebuilds simply add
CMAKE_MAKEFILE_GENERATOR="emake"
before inheriting cmake-utils.
