About:
Netsurf-buildsystem provides a comprehensive set of Makefiles and build scripts shared across the NetSurf project. It standardizes the compilation process for various target platforms, managing dependencies and toolchain configurations. This system is essential for developers building the NetSurf browser or related libraries from source.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform build support
  • Shared Makefile infrastructure
  • Automated dependency management
  • Standardized configuration handling
Use Cases:
  • Compiling the NetSurf browser from source
  • Building NetSurf-specific libraries and dependencies
  • Setting up a consistent development environment for NetSurf projects
Alternatives:
  • CMake – Generic build system requiring manual configuration, unlike this project-specific setup
  • Autotools – More complex configuration process compared to this direct Makefile approach
