gaudi - A Builder

gaudi is not a gem or a library. It is an approach for the construction of build systems for highly complex projects that incorporate multiple technologies, languages and toolchains.

The main goals of gaudi are:

• Provision of a simple and centralized way for configuring a development environment beginning with the build process
• Codification of a set of conventions for projects targeting multiple platforms
• Formation of a basis for a consistent CLI interface between the developers and the development environment

The approach and utilization of gaudi are laid out in more detail in the documentation directory and the files contained therein.

This repository hosts the core gaudi code and the gaudi-c module, a module for building C/C++.

gaudi is meant to be part of a code repository from the initial commit on. To that purpose there is a gaudi gem that simplifies the process of integrating gaudi in a repository.

The gaudi gem can be installed through the gem command:

gem install gaudi

Afterwards a project scaffold can be created with the following command:

gaudi -s gaudi_project

This command invocation will create a basic project structure and pull the current version of gaudi from its upstream repository. The scaffold also adds the correct files and structure to support features like the documentation tasks

The gaudi-c module can be added to an existing gaudi build system scaffolding by utilizing the below invocation of gaudi:

gaudi -l gaudi-c https://github.com/damphyr/gaudi.git gaudi_project

Well, if you know who Gaudi was you should concentrate on the fact that he rarely produced detailed plans of his works, instead he created models.

Gaudi was very much a builder and a craftsman. Each of his buildings is unique yet based on his knowledge of the materials and the techniques for working with them.
