Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer-implemented method for generating one or more build system build files using a unified build system configuration file includes: receiving the unified build system configuration file in a computer system, the unified build system configuration file comprising at least one platform-independent build system configuration; generating, using the computer system, at least one platform-specific build system configuration from the at least one platform-independent build system configuration; selecting at least one template for the unified build system configuration file, the template selected from among templates corresponding to each of multiple platforms; generating the one or more build system build files for at least one of the multiple platforms using the platform-specific build system configuration and the selected template; and providing the generated one or more build system build files in response to the unified build system configuration file.

First claim
