+GN |
+===== |
+ |
+[GN](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/tools/gn/) |
+is a new meta-build system originally designed to replace GYP in Chromium. |
+ |
+You can build Skia using GN in a limited number of configurations. We expect |
+that as that limited number rises, GN will become the preferred, and then only, |
+way to build Skia. |
+ |
+Supported Features |
+---------- |
+ |
+ * Linux, Mac |
+ * Software rendering |
+ * libskia.a, libskia.so |
+ * DM, nanobench |
+ |
+Quickstart |
+---------- |
+ |
+Please check out Skia using the instructions in one of the other quick start |
+guides. We diverge where they'd first run some command with "gyp" in it. |

+ # After gclient sync, run fetch-gn to make sure you have GN. |

`bin/sync` is a good wrapper around `gclient sync`

+ # Run GN to generate your build files. Some examples. |
+ gn gen out/Release |
+ gn gen out/Debug --args=is_debug=true |
+ gn gen out/Clang --args='cc="clang" cxx="clang++"' |
+ gn gen out/Shared --args=is_component_build=true |
+ |
+ # Build |
+ ninja -C out/Release |
+ ninja -C out/Debug |
+ ninja -C out/Clang |
+ ninja -C out/Shared |
+ |
+From here everything is pretty much business as usual. |
