samurai (samu) is a compatible replacement ninja build tool written in C99 with a focus on simplicity, speed, and portability. samurai implements the ninja build language through version 1.9.0 except for MSVC dependency handling (deps = msvc). It uses the same format for .ninja_log and .ninja_deps as ninja, currently version 5 and 4 respectively. It is feature-complete and supports most of the same options as ninja. The port provides the native `samu` command and a symlink so it can be called as `ninja` by standard build systems.
