# JW-Build Build System
The JW-Build package basically is a bunch of scripts and GNU makefile snippets.
You can install it to its standard location /opt/jw-build, or put it anywhere
you want in your file system, typically next to your own projects in the same
directory. You then include JW-Build's makefiles from within your own project
to organize your build.
A package using JW-Build only needs three-liners as makefiles. This buys you
convenience, minimal, clean, humanly digestable code, and a structured way to
customize builds involving multiple packages - you can override any of
JW-Build's default variables for many projects, for an entire project, or for a
directory, at your option.
JW-Build honours many environment variables, it digests a simple configuration
file per project with the project's metadata, it builds libraries and
executables, it organizes C/C++, Python and Java builds, it can produce and
upload Debian, RPM and IPK packages, it automatically generates BitBake recipes
and organizes Yocto-builds, it has a built-in SAT-solver for building multiple
projects in the right order, incorporating packages that are not made with
jw-build. It supports cross compilation with MinGW and the GNU toolchain. It's
tested on Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedora / CentOS / RHEL, Mint and many Unices.
