Ninja is a small build system closest in spirit to Make.
Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed.

manual.asciidoc included in the distribution -- for more background,
including motivation and build instructions.

Though the code is copyright Google, don't take that as an
endorsement; I wrote this in my spare time for fun.
To build, run ./bootstrap.sh. It first blindly compiles all non-test
source files together, then re-builds Ninja using itself. You should
end up with a 'ninja' binary in the source root. Run './ninja -h' for
help.
There is no installation step. The only file of interest to a user
is the resulting ninja binary.
Discussions about Ninja should take place on the mailing list:

Start by downloading the code from

The included `bootstrap.sh` should hopefully produce a working `ninja`
binary, by first blindly compiling all non-test files together then
re-building Ninja using itself.
Usage is currently just

ninja target

where `target` is a known output described by `build.ninja` in the
current directory.
There is no installation step; the only files of interest to a user
are the resulting binary and this manual.
The included `README` describes the build and install process.
