In each case GYP's goal is to replicate as +closely as possible the way one would set up a native build of the project +using the IDE. + +GYP can also be used to generate "hybrid" projects that provide the IDE +scaffolding for a nice user experience but call out to Ninja to do the actual +building (which is usually much faster than the native build systems of the +IDEs). + +For more information on GYP, click on the links above. |
