NAME

ninja-utils.eclass - common bits to run dev-util/ninja builder

DESCRIPTION

This eclass provides a single function -- eninja -- that can be used to run the ninja builder alike emake. It does not define any dependencies, you need to depend on dev-util/ninja yourself. Since ninja is rarely used stand-alone, most of the time this eclass will be used indirectly by the eclasses for other build systems (CMake, Meson).

FUNCTIONS

eninja [<args>...]: Call Ninja, passing the NINJAOPTS (or converted MAKEOPTS), followed by the supplied arguments. This function dies if ninja fails. Starting with EAPI 6, it also supports being called via 'nonfatal'.

ECLASS VARIABLES

NINJAOPTS: The default set of options to pass to Ninja. Similar to MAKEOPTS, supposed to be set in make.conf. If unset, eninja() will convert MAKEOPTS instead.
