Ninja is yet another build system. It takes as input the interdependencies
|
|
of files (typically source code and output executables) and orchestrates
|
|
building them, quickly.
|
|
|
|
Ninja joins a sea of other build systems. Its distinguishing goal is to be
|
|
fast. It is born from my work on the Chromium browser project, which has
|
|
over 30,000 source files and whose other build systems (including one built
|
|
from custom non-recursive Makefiles) can take ten seconds to start building
|
|
after changing one file. Ninja is under a second.
