    Description

      When compiling the server with ninja, the step to create the SELinux module fails because of a missing directory (mariadb-pp.dir).
      Leaving off the -G option and compiling with conventional make the missing directory gets created by cmake and the module gets created as expected. A directory listing is provided below.
      When creating the directory before starting compilation with ninja, the SELinux module gets created without a problem.

      Error

      [1/1] Generating mariadb.pp
      FAILED: mariadb.pp
      cd /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files && /usr/bin/checkmodule -M -m /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/policy/selinux/mariadb.te -o /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/CMakeFiles/mariadb-pp.dir/mariadb.mod && /usr/bin/semodule_package -m /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/CMakeFiles/mariadb-pp.dir/mariadb.mod -o /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/mariadb.pp

      ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
      

      Reproduction

      tar xf mariadb-10.4.6.tar.gz # (via https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.4.6/#os_group=source)
      cd ./mariadb-10.4.6/support-files
      cmake . -Wno-dev \
              -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/mariadb \
              -DINSTALL_SUPPORTFILESDIR=share/mariadb \
              -G Ninja
      ninja
      

      I noticed the problem first when I compiled mariadb-server. But I reduced the instructions to reproduce the error.
      The error remains identical.

      Bug History
