OctaBuild is a simple build system inspired by Make, but using the Cubescript
|
|
|
|
|
language to write build definitions and not depending on a shell to function.
|
|
|
|
|
It'll also feature things such as automatic dependency tracking and a large
|
|
|
|
|
utility library abstracting away platform differences.

It can be used standalone at this point. Once everything is more done, a library
|
|
|
|
|
form will be introduced.

It needs libcubescript to function, which you can fetch at
|
|
|

https://git.octaforge.org/tools/libcubescript.git/ or at

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Use the provided script to build OctaBuild itself. You will need libcubescript
|
|
|
|
|
and octastd in the right paths (you can adjust these paths within `compile.sh`)
|
|
|
|
|
in order to compile it. There is a provided example build script in `example`.
|
|
|
