1 Blueprint Build System 2 ====================== 3 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/google/blueprint.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/google/blueprint) 4 5 Blueprint is a meta-build system that reads in Blueprints files that describe 6 modules that need to be built, and produces a 7 [Ninja](http://martine.github.io/ninja/) manifest describing the commands that 8 need to be run and their dependencies. Where most build systems use built-in 9 rules or a domain-specific language to describe the logic for converting module 10 descriptions to build rules, Blueprint delegates this to per-project build 11 logic written in Go. For large, heterogenous projects this allows the inherent 12 complexity of the build logic to be maintained in a high-level language, while 13 still allowing simple changes to individual modules by modifying easy to 14 understand Blueprints files. 15
