bonnibel 0.2.0

Build script generator for the Popcorn kernel

# Bonnibel

Bonnibel (pb for short) builds [Ninja][] build files for a set of modules. Bonnibel is a thin wrapper around [Jinja][] templates defining both _modules_ to be built and the _targets_ to build them for. This allows expressive power in using Ninja’s simple but otherwise very powerful build definition language.

For example, Bonnibel was created for [Popcorn][], where I needed the ability to build tools for my local native environment, use those tools to make output files used by other build stages, and build the bootloader, kernel and user-space applications all with different compiler and linker options. Complicating things even more, several libraries need to be built and used by applications on multiple target environments.
