Beaver

Capable build system and command runner for any project.

Projects can be built programmatically because configuration is written in Ruby.

It is an excellent replacement for make and cmake. Beaver also integrates with other build systems so you can have dependencies that use other build systems.

Example

Project(name: "Game")

C::Library(
  name: "Physics",
  description: "Physics simulation library",
  language: :cpp,
  sources: "lib/physics/*.cpp",
  include: "include/physics"
)

C::Library(
  name: "Renderer",
  language: :c,
  sources: "lib/renderer/*.c",
  include: "include/renderer",
  dependencies: [
    pkgconfig("SDL2"),
    system_lib("pthread")
  ]
)

C::Executable(
  name: "Game",
  language: :cpp,
  sources: "src/*.cpp",
  dependencies: ["Physics", "Renderer"]
)

Building

Building requires ruby to be installed. The ruby version linked to will be the one that is accessible from the command line ruby --version.

cargo build -p beaver-cli

Installing

from source

cargo +nightly install --git https://github.com/jomy10/beaver

Documentation

You can view the examples and there is basic documentation in the docs directory.

More extensive documentation is coming soon when the project is more stable.
