xmake VS Ninja Build

We can also try xmake. https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake Xmake can be used to directly build source code (like with Make or Ninja), or it can generate project source files like CMake or Meson. It also has a built-in package management system to help users integrate C/C++ dependencies. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I wrote this tool mainly for the purpose of building xmake's own source code better. https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake. Source: over 1 year ago

Did you consider skipping the parser part and base it of off another language? Like xmake: https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/. Source: over 1 year ago

Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

Ninja was super easy to pick up even after using make for some time (10+ years). GN is just a ninja generator that is optional. https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/main/docs/quick_start.md https://ninja-build.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Really? I thought most new projects were switching to ninja[^1] and have never used it. [^1]: https://ninja-build.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Ninja showed real promise for a while, but then CMake grew up and people stopped seeing a reason to leave it behind. Source: 10 months ago

Now that you have your build system all generated you can go ahead and build everything. By default Meson will use Ninja as the build tool. Ninja is similar to Make but much much faster. You can also generate additional build systems but that's outside of the scope of this post. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
