| * Change gyp to gnShoaib Meenai2018-10-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Chrome has switched from gyp to gn, and Fuschia also uses it now. Note that the "Chromium Ninja documentation" link is dead, but I'm not sure what to replace it with. The closest I've found is https://chromium.googlesource.com/experimental/chromium/src/+/refs/wip/bajones/webvr/docs/ninja_build.md, but I'm not sure that's the original intended target.

* Add `deps` and `recompact` tools to manualNikolaus Wittenstein2017-08-291-0/+5
| | | The `deps` tool in particular is very useful to know about.
* Change default NINJA_STATUS to [%f/%t]Colin Cross2016-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PR #999 changed the status line to be printed when edges finish on dumb teerminals, but the default status message includes the number of started edges, resulting in sequential status lines with identical edge counts. Change the default status to show the number of finished edges, which will keep the count incrementing on every line. This will slightly change the output on smart terminals. Previously a build that was just starting would show a count equal to the number of concurrent jobs, and a build waiting for the final jobs to finish would show a count equal to the total number of edges. Now a starting build will show 0, and build waiting for the final jobs will show a count less than the total number of edges by the number of remaining jobs. Fixes: #1142
* browse: support --port and --no-browser optionsPeter Wu2016-03-111-3/+7
| | | | | | | Add --port option to override the default port (8000). Add --no-browser option to avoid opening a web browser (useful over SSH). Make the target name optional, using "all" if omitted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Update link to Chromium's ninja docs (fixes #1038) * Update cmake URL to what it redirects to, and mention that ninja is well-supported on all platforms in newer CMake versions. * Let "others" link to the wiki page listing generators.
* | Add support for build statement implicit outputsBrad King2016-02-031-1/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some build rules produce outputs that are not mentioned on the command line but that should be part of the build graph. Such outputs should not be named in the `$out` variable. Extend the build statement syntax to support specification of implicit outputs using the syntax `| out1 out2` after the explicit outputs and before the `:`. For example, compilation of a Fortran source file `foo.f90` that defines `MODULE FOO` may now be specified as: rule fc command = f95 -c $in -o $out build foo.o | foo.mod: fc foo.f90 The `foo.mod` file is an implicit output generated by the compiler based on the content of the source file and not mentioned on the command line.

* | Describe why to use relative pathsFredrik Medley2015-09-031-0/+8
|/ | | | | | | | Ninja does resolve relative paths and file system links in paths. Therefore, such paths pointing to the same file will not match and may lead to an invalid dependency graph. Signed-off-by: Fredrik Medley <fredrik.medley@gmail.com>

* reword manual for depfile/rspfile escaping changeNico Weber2014-05-241-9/+7
|
* Make "depfile=$out.d" work if $out contains escaped characters, rspfile too.Nico Weber2014-05-211-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #730. This has always been broken, but due to #690 more paths are now escaped (e.g. paths containing + characters, like file.c++). Also see discussion in #689. The approach is to give EdgeEnv an enum deciding on whether or not to escape file names, and provide functions that evaluate depfile and rspfile with that set that to kNoEscape. (depfile=$out.d doesn't make sense on edges with multiple outputs.) This should be relatively safe, as $in and $out can't be used on edges, only on rules (#687).
* wip for console pool on windowsNico Weber2014-05-131-2/+0

* Introduce the "console" poolPeter Collingbourne2014-02-031-0/+17
| | | | | | | This is a pre-defined pool with a depth of 1. It has the special property that any task in the pool has direct access to the console. This can be useful for interactive tasks or long-running tasks which produce status updates on the console (such as test suites).
