Beaver

Capable build system and command runner for any project.

Projects can be built programmatically because configuration is written in Ruby.

It is an excellent replacement for make and cmake.

Project(name: "Game")

C::Library(
  name: "Physics",
  description: "Physics simulation library",
  language: :cpp,
  sources: "lib/physics/*.cpp",
  include: "include/physics"
)

C::Library(
  name: "Renderer",
  language: :c,
  sources: "lib/renderer/*.c",
  include: "include/renderer",
  dependencies: [
    pkgconfig("SDL2"),
    system_lib("pthread")
  ]
)

C::Executable(
  name: "Game",
  language: :cpp,
  sources: "src/*.cpp",
  dependencies: ["Physics", "Renderer"]
)

Building requires ruby to be installed. The ruby version linked to will be the one that is accessible from the command line ruby --version.

cargo build -p beaver-cli

from source

cargo install --git https://github.com/jomy10/beaver
