buildmc 0.5.0

Pure-Python build ochestrator using CMake or Meson to configure+build via a single simple command.

buildMC

A pure Python program that makes building a large, complicated project using CMake or Meson just a single, simple command.

Install

Prereqs:

• Python ≥ 3.6
• CMake ≥ 3.12 or Meson+Ninja

pip install buildmc

or to use latest development code

git clone https://github.com/scivision/buildmc

cd buildmc

pip install -e .

Usage

buildMC makes switching between compilers trivial. Also, building on native Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux is detected and handled--the CMake or Meson cache is wiped to allow clean rebuild when switching without fuss.

Examples

Say you want to ensure a project builds with each of Visual Studio, GNU/GCC, Intel and Clang. This can be easily done by typing in the top-level of the project directory:

buildmc msvc

buildmc gnu

buildmc intel

buildmc clang

Each command independently builds and runs the user-configured tests using CMake or Meson. When switching between Windows and Linux (using WSL from Windows) buildMC detects the OS switch and wipes the build cache and rebuilds as needed.
