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.
