WHAT YOU WILL FIND HERE
-----------------------

Waf (1.7)

For the manual: http://docs.waf.googlecode.com/git/book_16/single.html
For the api docs: http://docs.waf.googlecode.com/git/apidocs_16/index.html
For the examples: see the folder demos/

HOW TO CREATE THE WAF SCRIPT
----------------------------

Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2 is required to generate the waf script. Execute:
$ ./waf-light configure build
Or, if you have several python versions installed:
$ python3 ./waf-light configure build

The Waf tools in waflib/extras are not added to the waf script. To add
some of them, use the --tools switch:
$ ./waf-light --tools=compat15,swig

To add a tool that does not exist in the folder extras, pass an absolute path, and
to customize the initialization, pass the parameter 'prelude'. Here is for example
how to create a waf file using the compat15 module:
$ ./waf-light --tools=compat15 --prelude=$'\tfrom waflib.extras import compat15\n'

Any kind of initialization is possible, though one may prefer the build system kit (folder build_system_kit):
$ ./waf-light --make-waf --tools=compat15,/comp/waf/aba.py --prelude=$'\tfrom waflib.extras import compat15\n\tprint "ok"'

HOW TO TRY THE EXAMPLES
-----------------------

Try this:
$ cp waf demos/c/
$ cd demos/c/
$ ./waf configure build

USING GIT
---------

$ git clone https://code.google.com/p/waf/
set $HOME/.netrc to read:
machine code.google.com login user@gmail.com password pass
$ git remote add code https://code.google.com/p/waf.docs/
... make a few changes
$ git push code
