ceasium 0.16.0

A hassle free C (gcc) JSON build system.

Ceasium

A hassle free JSON based GCC build system.

Introduction

C is a great language, but tooling around it like CMake or Make are a bit complicated. While CMake is great when it comes to being able to specify a complicated build, its syntax has a steep learning curve and is quite cumbersome and non-intuitive. Thus I created Ceasium.

Features

Ceasium features most of the things that are regularly needed.

• pkg-config to resolve C_FLAGS and LD_FLAGS
• Ability to specify your own C_FLAGS and LD_FLAGS
• Build executables, static and dynamic libraries
• .c file discovery within a given directory
• Caching based on modification date including dependency discovery
• Exclusion of certain .o files when linking

Installation

pip install ceasium

Prerequisites

• Python
• GCC compiler
• pkg-config

Usage

Ceasium provides these commands:

• cs init
• cs build
  • [Optional] <src.json/test.json/whatever.json> specify which json file to build
• cs clean

Configuration

Example config:

{
  "name": "game-engine",
  "type": "exe",
  "cflags": [
    "-I./include",
    "-g",
    "-W",
    "-Wall",
    "-O3",
    "-fopenmp",
    "-fdiagnostics-color=always"
  ],
  "ldflags": ["-lopengl32", "-fopenmp"],
  "libs": ["glew", "sdl2", "glib-2.0", "assimp"]
}
