In theory you'd want this line to be indented.

I could use <<- for a here document that strips leading indent, but that only
works with tab indent. I think it's better as is?

+No prebuilt ninja binary was found for this system.
+Try building your own binary by doing:
+  cd ~
+  git clone https://github.com/martine/ninja.git

[M-A Ruel, 2012/12/11 14:24:55]

git clone https://github.com/martine/ninja.git -b v1.0.0

[Nico, 2012/12/11 18:36:54]

Done.

Does ./ninja/bootstrap.py works? If so, you'd save another command line.

[Nico, 2012/12/11 18:36:54]

Done.

+  git checkout v1.0.0
+  ./bootstrap.py
+Then add ~/ninja/ to your PATH.
