Building a simple C project

This example shows a script which builds two files named main.c and game.c into a binary named mygame with SDL2.

The following is a breakdown of the script.

1. First import the clang command:

from bmgen.commands.clang import clang

2. Then set the output directory -- which will also instantly get created -- and tell the clang command to create it's object directory inside the output directory:

inst.set_output_dir('bin')
clang.update_object_dir()

3. Build the program via clang:

clang('mygame', ['main.c', 'game.c'], ['sdl2'])

The final bmgen.py looks like this:

from bmgen.commands.clang import clang

inst.set_output_dir('bin')
clang.update_object_dir()

clang('mygame', ['main.c', 'game.c'], ['sdl2'])

Building the program is now as easy as running bmgen in your terminal!
