sync-and-gyp
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
[`sync-and-gyp`](https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git/+/master/bin/sync-and-gyp)
|
|
is a Python program that wraps `gclient sync` and `gyp_skia`.
|
|
Motivations for using it:
|
|
|
|
- Fewer steps to configure and compile Skia and Skia's dependencies.
|
|
This makes documentation cleaner, too.
|
|
|
|
- Written in Python, so it will work on all platforms. Python is
|
|
already necessary for gyp.
|
|
|
|
- Sets up gclient better than `gclient config`, which has been broken.
|
|
|
|
- Checks to see if the `DEPS` file has changed since it last ran
|
|
`gclient sync`. If not, it skips that step.
|
|
|
|
- Checks to see if gyp needs to be re-run (it checks environment
|
|
variables and changed or added files); if not, it skips running
|
|
`gyp_skia`.
|
|
|
|
- Since running `sync-and-gyp` is fast when it can do nothing, it is
|
|
easy to do before every recompile of Skia. This is a good habit.
