Waf, also known as BKsys, is a software framework that enables easy configuration, compilation and installation of applications using Python.
With Waf, developers can easily install applications by running the command, "su -c "./waf.py install". The framework has several demos that showcase the capabilities of the software. These demos include KDE3, Qt4, and OCaml applications.
To start using Waf, simply uncompress the archive and follow the installation instructions provided. Developers can also use the command "waf --prepare cd demos/kde3/ waf configure; waf" to configure and run demos of applications built using the framework.
Overall, Waf is a powerful software tool that makes the development process smoother and more efficient. Its reliance on Python and simplified approach to application installation and configuration makes it an attractive option for developers looking for a change from the traditional GNU autotool chain.
