# 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`.
