Jitsu

Ninja (github.com/martine/ninja) is an excellent build system, but Ninja files are hard to write, by design. Jitsu is a simple meta build system that writes Ninja files for you from YAML project descriptions.

For now, C++ is the only supported langugage. Jitsu can build executables and static, dynamic and libtool libraries. See the features dir for examples and ilkka.github.com/jitsu for docs.

Contributing to Jitsu

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

  • Fork the project

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
