**Basic Overview**
|
|
This is a lightweight/dependency free C build system built entirely around standard POSIX tools. It introduces a python style virtual environment for your C projects using a simple shell script. It tracks your compiler, linker flags, and build options in a local state file without needing cmake or other heavy build generators.
|
|
|
|
**Example Use**
|
|
To get started with a fresh project create your directory and run the initialization command.
|
|
|
|
`make init`
|
|
|
|
Next activate your virtual environment by sourcing the configuration script into your current shell session.
|
|
|
|
`. config/activate` (or `source config/activate`) the former is simply POSIX compliant.
|
|
|
|
Once you are inside the environment you can run your builds and clean up whenever you want.
|
|
|
|
`make debug`
|
|
`make build`
|
|
`make release`
|
|
`make clean`
|
|
|
|
**What Each Build Target Does**
|
|
|
|
* init sets up the required folder structure and generates the activation script
|
|
* debug compiles your code with debug symbols enabled and optimization turned off
|
|
* build compiles your code for regular development use using your custom flags
|
|
* release updates the internal version timestamp and compiles an optimized production binary
|
|
* clean removes all intermediate object files and generated makefiles
|
|
|
|
**Example env_set Commands**
|
|
You can adjust your toolchain and compiler options dynamically using the `env_set` function while the environment is active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example uses:
|
|
```
|
|
env_set CC cc
|
|
env_set CFLAGS -std=c17 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra
|
|
env_set DEBUG_FLAGS -g3 -O0
|
|
env_set RELEASE_FLAGS -O2 -DNDEBUG
|
|
env_set LIBS -lm
|
|
