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 Evan Martin's 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.
