Magica

Magica is a build script based on Rake, it helps you compile C and C++ project with easier way.

$ gem install magica

Like Rake, you need a Magicafile to setup your build task.

The magica provides magica init command helps your start your first project.

To define a new build task, you can use the build DSL to create it.

build :main

If you want to do more setting for your project, you can do like below.

build :main do
  dynamic_library "sdl2" # Use pkg-config to find dependency and add to build command
  include_path "extra/include" # Add include path
  define :debug # Add defines when build
  flag "-Wall" # Add build flags
  source "src/**/*.cpp" # Define source file, it will use FileList to scan it
  dest "build" # Define the build files to place
  use :cxx # If your project is C++ project, set it to use C++ compiler instead C compiler
end

If you have some 3rd-party library wants to include, the dependency can help you compile it.

WARNING: Current only support git as version control

build :main do
  dependency :mruby do
    source "git@github.com:mruby/mruby.git" # Define source
    version "1.2.0" # Define version ( tag or branch )
    command "./minirake" # The build command

    env :MRUBY_CONFIG, File.join(Dir.pwd, 'mruby_config.rb') # Build environment variable

    install_dir "#{@dir}/build/host/lib" # The compiled files path
    static_library "libmruby.a", "libmruby_core.a" # The library name
  end
end

NOTICE: Current the build task will direct use install directory's file as link object.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
