| # MB - The Meta-Build wrapper |
| |
| MB is a simple wrapper intended to provide a uniform interface to either |
| GYP or GN, such that users and bots can call one script and not need to |
| worry about whether a given bot is meant to use GN or GYP. |
| |
| It supports two main functions: |
| |
| 1. "gen" - the main `gyp_chromium` / `gn gen` invocation that generates the |
| Ninja files needed for the build. |
| |
| 2. "analyze" - the step that takes a list of modified files and a list of |
| desired targets and reports which targets will need to be rebuilt. |
| |
| We also use MB as a forcing function to collect all of the different |
| build configurations that we actually support for Chromium builds into |
| one place, in `//tools/mb/mb_config.pyl`. |
