SYNOPSIS

  inherit waf

DESCRIPTION

Waf is a general-purpose build system written in Python used by XMMS2, a few GTK+ programs, and some other projects. The build system is provided by a bundled 'waf' script in the top source directory, and is driven by a 'wscript' file in the top source directory and 'wscript_build' files in subdirectories, both of which are also written in Python.

NOTE

Previous versions uses to allow use of a system installed waf. This is no longer supported, as waf does not have a stable API and is therefore not feasibly used in this way. Fortunately, by now most packages do include a recent enough waf to build properly with at most only patches to 'wscript' and/or 'wscript_build' files.
