NAME
   Data::Hopen - A build generator with first-class edges and explicit
   dependencies

   hopen is a cross-platform software build generator.  It makes files you
   can pass to Make, Ninja, Visual Studio, or other build tools, to compile
   and link your software.  hopen gives you:

   *   A full, Turing-complete, robust programming language to write your
       build scripts (specifically, Perl 5.14+)

   *   No hidden magic!  All your data is visible and accessible in a build
       graph.

   *   Context-sensitivity.  Your users can tweak their own builds for their
       own platforms without affecting your project.

   See Data::Hopen::Conventions for details of the input format.

   Why Perl?  Because (1) you probably already have it installed, and (2) it
   is the original write-once, run-everywhere language!

INSTALLATION
   Easiest: install "cpanminus" if you don't have it - see
   <https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus#INSTALLATION>.  Then run "cpanm
   Data::Hopen".

   Manually: clone or untar into a working directory.  Then, in that
   directory,

       perl Makefile.PL
       make
       make test

   (you may need to install dependencies as well - see
   <https://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html> for resources).  If all the
   tests pass,

       make install

   If some of the tests fail, please check the issues and file a new one if
   no one else has reported the problem yet.
