Build fails with ninja generator

[awvwgk]

Trying to configure outcome with cmake -B _build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release fails with

CMake Warning at _build/quickcpplib/repo/cmakelib/QuickCppLibUtils.cmake:84 (message):

  stderr was: CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program
  corresponding to "Unix Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You
  probably need to select a different build tool.

It seems like the generator, in this case ninja is not communicated correctly. Using ninja would be useful for usage on Windows.

Outcome works just fine with the Ninja generator. I use it daily at work.

I suspect the issue here is Conda. See #266 and #267.

Since this hasn't seen any activity in a while, I'm going ahead and close this. Feel free to reopen if further qualifying information comes up (e.g. a reprex).
