By preventing the import of pymake, multiprocessing is no longer imported and BSDs should no longer choke when trying to import it. DONTBUILD |

======== mozbuild ======== mozbuild is a Python package providing functionality used by Mozilla's build system. Modules Overview ================ * mozbuild.compilation -- Functionality related to compiling. This includes managing compiler warnings. * mozbuild.frontend -- Functionality for reading build frontend files (what defines the build system) and converting them to data structures which are fed into build backends to produce backend configurations. Overview ======== The build system consists of frontend files that define what to do. They say things like "compile X" "copy Y." The mozbuild.frontend package contains code for reading these frontend files and converting them to static data structures. The set of produced static data structures for the tree constitute the current build configuration. There exist entities called build backends. From a high level, build backends consume the build configuration and do something with it. They typically produce tool-specific files such as make files which can be used to build the tree. Builders are entities that build the tree. They typically have high cohesion with a specific build backend. Piecing it all together, we have frontend files that are parsed into data structures. These data structures are fed into a build backend. The output from build backends is used by builders to build the tree.
