Clerk

The build system for Catala built on top of ninja.

Build

• to build: dune build
• to run: dune exec ./clerk.exe

Usage

See the manpage -- accessible with clerk --help.

Under the hood

To perform tests, Clerk will first generate a build.ninja file with required rules and build statements retrieved from the given input path(s), before executing the command ninja test.

The handling of the ninja structure is done with the module Ninja_utils.
