Oh My GYP

Oh My GYP is a set of simply GYP (Generate Your Projects) configuration files to help build settings for C/C++ applications, released into the public domain.

Getting started

First, make your project directory, and clone 'oh-my-gyp' from GitHub.

mkdir hello && cd hello
git clone https://github.com/mogemimi/oh-my-gyp.git

Second, add main.cpp and hello.gyp to your project directory. For example,

hello/
├── oh-my-gyp/
│   ├── c++11.gypi
│   ├── c++14.gypi
│   └── ...
├── hello.gyp
└── main.cpp

main.cpp:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

hello.gyp:

{
  # (1) choose your build configs
  'includes': [
    'oh-my-gyp/c++14.gypi',
    'oh-my-gyp/config-debug-release.gypi',
    'oh-my-gyp/warn-as-error.gypi',
    'oh-my-gyp/warnings-level3.gypi',
    'oh-my-gyp/mac-basic.gypi',
    'oh-my-gyp/win32-basic.gypi',
  ],
  # (2) write your build target
  'targets': [
    {
      'target_name': 'Hello',
      'product_name': 'Hello',
      'type': 'executable',
      'sources': [
        'main.cpp',
      ],
    },
  ],
}

Generating Xcode project

To generate .xcodeproj file, run the following command:

gyp hello.gyp --depth=. -f xcode

To open in Xcode, run the following into terminal:

open hello.xcodeproj

Generating Visual Studio 2015 project

To generate .sln and .vcxproj files, run the following command:

gyp hello.gyp --depth=. -f msvs -G msvs_version=2015

You can try to compile hello.sln in Visual Studio 2015.
