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.

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"]
)
