## Description



For CMake-based projects, ninja is increasingly the preferred replacement for make at least on Linux, for various reasons, and attempting to build RenderDoc with it currently simply fails.



## Repro steps



1. Configure cmake as usual, adding the `-GNinja` option to select the Ninja generator (as opposed to the Makefile generator)

2. Run `ninja` instead of `make`.

3. Observe the error: 

>   ninja: error: build.ninja:2690: bad $-escape (literal $ must be written as $$)



## Environment



* Ubuntu 18.04 with the standard development packages (cmake version 3.10.2, ninja version 1.8.2)
