Set CMake Ninja build output same format as Unix Makefiles

In my C++ app I use CLion as IDE and I have set it up like this.

I noticed that the Generator (under Settings->Build->CMake) has been changed to Ninja.

CLion cmake build conf

And the build output is no longer nice and descriptive (and warnings are no longer shown):

Ninja build output of AzerothCore

With the Unix Makefiles generator, it used to output like this:

Unix Makefiles build output of AzerothCore

Which is much nicer, showing more information and warnings.

Is there a way I can set the Ninja build output format the same as the one of Unix Makefiles?

Ninja absolutely does still show warnings when they appear.

No. However, the best you can do (short of patching Ninja) is this:

Add --verbose to the "Build options:" line entry item in that same settings dialog from your first picture to get line-by-line outputs in Ninja.
