Deft, a Dylan Environment For Tools

Deft is a framework for producing tools for building and working with Dylan projects. Projects can customize the behavior by providing a deft-package.json file.

It is extensible and will support plug-in loading in the future.

It is currently under development.

Building Deft

You must build Deft with a build of Open Dylan from the master branch. Deft relies on features which have been added to Open Dylan after the 2013.2 release.

To get things set up correctly, please use the Makefile to build Deft:

make

Installing Deft

To install Deft, you can use the Makefile:

make install

This will copy a variety of things to /opt/deft and you can then add /opt/deft/bin to your path.

If you want to change the install destination, you can override the INSTALL_DIR:

make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/deft
