octabuild

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 https://github.com/OctaForge/libcubescript as well as OctaSTD at https://git.octaforge.org/tools/octastd.git or at https://github.com/OctaForge/OctaSTD.

Features

A real scripting language
Similar to Make in many ways
Currently manual dependency tracking
Parallel builds
Glob matching
GNU Make style pattern rules

Upcoming features:

Automatic dependency tracking
Shell independence
Proper argument handling
Platform related utilities

Usage

Use the provided Makefile to build - adjust the paths to OctaSTD and libcubescript if necessary. There is a provided example build script in example.

The octabuild binary supports the -h option to display help.
