Turtle

Clone of the Ninja build system in Rust

Goals

• Safe (no unsafe) and fast reimplementation of the Ninja build system in Rust
• Improved frontend support
  • Full output from build rules and no output from Turtle by default
  • More customizable build/rule/progress/error output

Install

sh cargo install --git https://github.com/raviqqe/turtle
