What we've got here is a little GN MVP. It's lacking any knobs and doesn't yet build anything but libskia, zlib, libpng, and libjpeg-turbo. I've been hopping back and forth between Linux at work and Mac at home. These seem to be at least partially working, enough to build and run cmake/example.cpp.
The xcode backend seems to work. From here, we can start exploring how to handle other backends (cmake,Android make, Google3). There are a couple things I want to try:
- add another backend like vs or xcode to GN directly
- intercept via a custom toolchain
- reverse from ninja -t commands
That last option seems kind of fun.
This tries to piggyback on Chrome's GN setup as much as possible. Chrome's got quite a lot figured out, and we're basically required to do this if we want to have a single GN build system shareable by Chrome, our bots, and other clients.
This pulls in some new DEPS:
- build: Chrome's GN configuration, and much more
- buildtools: hashes for gn binary, pulled via hooks
- tools/clang: hashes for Chrome's clang, pulled via hooks into third_party/llvm-build
It additionally symlinks tools/gyp to third_party/externals/gyp. GN pulls some stuff from tools/gyp on Mac.
Have not yet tried building for Windows, Android, or iOS.
