A simple build tool for building C and C++ applications
The tool is still in development. Do not use for production code.
## Installation
The tool requires cargo for installation
```console
cargo install builder_cpp
```
For subcommands run with -h flag
## Features
- [x] Create new project
- [x] Multithreaded
- [x] Can generate compile_commands.json
- [x] Can generate .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
- [x] Auto add project libraries to other targets
- [x] Get libraries as packages from github
# Limitations
- [x] Only supports clang and gcc compilers
## Usage
Write a config_win32.toml for windows and config_linux.toml for linux
To create a new project
```console
builder_cpp init <project-name> [--c|--cpp]
```
For help
```console
builder_cpp --help
```
The help command will show you the following
```sh
$ builder_cpp -h

-V, --version Print version
```
Sample file with a library and an executable
```toml
[build]
compiler = "g++"
[[targets]]
name = "libengine"
src = "./Nomu_Engine/Engine/src/"
include_dir = "./Nomu_Engine/Engine/src/include"
type = "dll"
cflags = "-g -Wall -Wunused `pkg-config --cflags freetype2` -std=c++17"
libs = "-lm -lglew32 -lglfw3 -lopengl32 -static-libstdc++ `pkg-config --libs freetype2`"
[[targets]]
name = "main"
src = "./Nomu_Engine/Game/src/"
include_dir = "./Nomu_Engine/Game/src"
type = "exe"
cflags = "-g -Wall"
libs = "-static-libstdc++"
deps = ["libengine"]
```
Sample file with an added package and an executable
```toml
[build]
compiler = "g++"
packages = ["Dr-42/Nomu_Engine, master"]
[[targets]]
name = "main"
src = "./src"
include_dir = "./src"
type = "exe"
cflags = "-g -Wall "
libs = ""
deps = ["libengine"]
```
Optional keys in toml are packages in build and deps in targets
