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.
