mincbuild

Introduction

mincbuild, or (Min)imal (C) (Build)system, is a highly minimal program which builds a C(++) project with a simple directory structure.

Dependencies

mincbuild is designed for Linux. With some trivial hacking, it can work on Windows machines.

Software / system dependencies are:

• A shell environment for program execution
• pthread (dependency can be removed by compiling with -DPRUNE_SINGLE_THREAD and -DCOMPILE_SINGLE_THREAD)

Management

• To bootstrap the program, run ./bootstrap.sh
• To rebuild using the bootstrapped program, run ./mincbuild
• To install the program, run ./install.sh
• To remove program files from system, run ./uninstall.sh

Usage

After installation,

1. Navigate to a project directory containing the mincbuild config file
2. Run mincbuild if the mincbuild config file is called mincbuild.conf, and mincbuild file.conf if the file is called file.conf

Contributing

I am not accepting pull requests unless they refactor code to make it smaller and more readable, or maybe fix minor bugs. If you have feature / large bugfix proposals, please contact me (through email or otherwise) and suggest them. Feel free to fork this project and make your own version.
