Description

Builds software projects with a Python-based build system inspired by SCons. It is useful for developers maintaining projects that use Waf scripts to configure, compile, test, and install source code across different platforms.

This is a command-line build tool, not an editor. It can create and modify build output inside a project directory, so commands should be run from the intended source tree and with attention to the project documentation.

How to run
