To be able to boostrap self-contained binary that can be used for both generating ninja files, and building them with samu.
This will be tremendously helpful for porting Muon on older platforms, like Debian Slink, for example.
Samurai is very easy to build manually. Something like
cc *.c -o samuworks fine iirc. Perhaps I could ship a tarball that contained samurai's source as well, and then add the above tobootstrap.sh.
samu also uses Make to build, which is also highly portable including older platforms.
muon now comes with a ninja bootstrap script and there is also a muon+samurai tarball available on https://muon.build. The only thing missing is better documentation in the readme I think.
Thank you, I think it's now even clear from the README. Could be closed now, probably.
