PasBuild Script

PasBuild is a Bash script designed to enhance dependency management in Pascal. Created by Evan Perreau.

Requierment

1. You need FPC compiler to use this script.

Installation

Linux

1. Clone this repository to get example code or download the pasbuild.sh script.

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x pasbuild.sh

3. You can now use the script by running:

   ./pasbuild.sh <file_name>

4. If you want to make it globally accessible:

   sudo mv build.sh /usr/local/bin/pasbuild
   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pasbuild

5. You can now use the script everywhere by running:

pasbuild <file_name>

Windows

1. Clone this repository to get example code or download the pasbuild.sh script.

2. To run Bash scripts on Windows, you'll need a Bash environment. One common option is Git for Windows. Install it if you haven't already.

3. Open a Git Bash shell and navigate to the directory containing the pasbuild.sh script.

4. You can now use the script by running:

   bash pasbuild.sh <file_name>

5. If you want to make it globally accessible, you need to add it to your PATH:

   1. Open System Properties Window:
   • Right-click on "This PC" (or "Computer" depending on your Windows version) on your desktop or in the Start menu.
   • Select "Properties."
   2. Access Advanced System Settings:
   • In the "System Properties" window, click on "Advanced system settings" in the left panel.
   3. Open Environment Variables Window:
   • In the "System Properties" window, click the "Environment Variables" button in the "Advanced" tab.
   4. Edit the PATH Variable:
   • In the "Environment Variables" window, under the "System variables" section, look for the variable named "Path" or "PATH" in the list of system variables.
   • Select "Path" and click the "Edit" button.
   5. Add a Directory to the PATH:
   • In the "Edit Environment Variable" window, click the "New" button.
   • Add the full path of the directory you want to add to the PATH. For example, if you want to add "C:\Path\To\pathbuild," enter this string.
   • Click "OK" to add the path.
   6. Save Changes:
   • Click "OK" to close the "Edit Environment Variable" window.
   • Click "OK" again to close the "Environment Variables" window.
   7. Restart the Command Prompt:
   • If you already have a Command Prompt window open, close it and open a new one to apply the changes to the PATH.

   8. Execute the pasbuild command

      pasbuild.sh <file_name>

Usage

• You need to create a lib directory to put all your libraries in this.

Output

• The script will check if the specified Pascal file exists and display an error message if it doesn't.
• It will index Pascal dependencies and save them to a file called pasbuild.lock.
• Then, it will compile the Pascal file with the necessary dependencies and display the compilation result.
