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.
Features
- A real scripting language
- Similar to Make in many ways
- Currently manual dependency tracking
- Parallel builds
Upcoming features:
- Automatic dependency tracking
- Shell independence
- Proper argument handling
- Platform related utilities
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.
The octabuild binary supports the -h option to display help.
