Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed. https://ninja-build.org/
See the manual or
doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution for background
and more details.
Run ./ninja -h for Ninja help.
Installation is not necessary because the only required file is the resulting ninja binary. However, to enable features like Bash completion and Emacs and Vim editing modes, some files in misc/ must be copied to appropriate locations.
If you are in Juniper, you can build Ninja via CMake locally on a dev VM, by turning the JUNIPER option on.
cmake -Bbuild-ninja -DJUNIPER=ON
cmake --build build-ninja
The ninja binary will now be inside the build-ninja directory (you can
choose any other name you like).
To run the unit tests:
./build-ninja/ninja_test
