Blueprint Build System
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Blueprint is a meta-build system that reads in Blueprints files that describe
|
||
|
|
modules that need to be built, and produces a Ninja
|
||
|
|
(http://martine.github.io/ninja/) manifest describing the commands that need to
|
||
|
|
be run and their dependencies. Where most build systems use built-in rules or
|
||
|
|
a domain-specific langauge to describe the logic for converting module
|
||
|
|
descriptions to build rules, Blueprint delegates this to per-project build
|
||
|
|
logic written in Go. For large, heterogenous projects this allows the inherent
|
||
|
|
complexity of the build logic to be maintained in a high-level language, while
|
||
|
|
still allowing simple changes to individual modules by modifying easy to
|
||
|
|
understand Blueprints files.
