## Welcome to the BUSY build system
BUSY (for *BU*ild *SY*stem) is a lean, cross-platform build system for the GCC, Clang and MSVC toolchains, with very little system requirements and easy bootsrapping.
Compared to other build systems like CMake, QMake, Meson or GN, BUSY is characterized by a **statically typed** build specification language, and by the possibility to build a project directly from scratch without any further requirements to the host system; BUSY is so lean that it is even suited to be directly integrated with the source tree of a project.
Here is an **example project** using BUSY: https://github.com/rochus-keller/nappgui/. NAppGUI is an extensive cross-platform GUI library written in C89 (with parts in C++98 and Objective-C) by Francisco García. See the README on how to build the project and check the BUSY files in the root and the src directory (and subdirectories). See below and in the syntax directory for more information about the specification language. Those who know GN will recognize various concepts in BUSY.
Here are a few excerpts for convenience:
```
# from the top-level BUSY file
submod src
let shared_lib* = src.shared_lib
let static_lib* = src.static_lib
let all! : Group {
.deps = [ shared_lib static_lib ]
