GYP is a Meta-Build system: a build system that generates other build systems.

GYP is intended to support large projects that need to be built on multiple
|
||
|
|
platforms (e.g., Mac, Windows, Linux), and where it is important that
|
||
|
|
the project can be built using the IDEs that are popular on each platform
|
||
|
|
as if the project is a "native" one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can be used to generate XCode projects, Visual Studio projects, Ninja
|
||
|
|
build files, and Makefiles. In each case GYP's goal is to replicate as
|
||
|
|
closely as possible the way one would set up a native build of the project
|
||
|
|
using the IDE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GYP can also be used to generate "hybrid" projects that provide the IDE
|
||
|
|
scaffolding for a nice user experience but call out to Ninja to do the actual
|
||
|
|
building (which is usually much faster than the native build systems of the
|
||
|
|
IDEs).
