# This defines the rules on how to build parts of the wordfreq lists, using the # Ninja build system: # # http://martine.github.io/ninja/manual.html # # Ninja is available in the 'ninja-build' Ubuntu package. It's like make with # better parallelism and the ability for build steps to produce multiple # outputs. The tradeoff is that its rule syntax isn't full of magic for # expanding wildcards and finding dependencies, so in general you have to # write the dependencies using a script. # # This file will become the header of the larger build.ninja file, which also # contains the programatically-defined dependency graph. # Variables DATA = ./data # How to build the build.ninja file itself.
