dmake

A Make engine for the D Programming Language. Supports configuration via D code or Make code.

Requirements

The D programming language compiler. It requires that rdmd is in your path.

Usage

Create the file make.d, then run dmake.

Installation: Windows

Create the file "dmake.bat" somewhere in your PATH and copy the following to it:

@rdmd -I<path-to-dmake-library> make.d %*

If <path-to-dmake-library> is in the same location as dmake.bat, you can use:

@rdmd -I%~dp0 make.d %*

Installation: Linux, OSx, etc.

Create the file "dmake" somwhere in your PATH and add this to it:

#!/bin/bash
rdmd -I<path-to-dmake-library> make.d $@

also make sure the file is executable, i.e. chmod +x dmake

No Install

dmake can also be invoked directly with no installation like this:

> rdmd -I<path-to-dmake-library> make.d <args>...

Example

import dmakelib;

void main(string[] args)
{
    declare("DCOMPILER", program("dmd"));

    addRule(exe("helloWorld"), file("helloWorld.d"), [
        shell("$(DCOMPILER) helloWorld.d")
    ]);

    addRule(target("clean"), null, [
        //remove("*.exe", "*.obj"),
        shell("del *.exe *.obj"),
    ]);

    run(args);
}

Every dmake file imports dmakelib.

Note: you can also create/run multiple make engines using a LocalMakeEngine.
