craftr-build 2.0.0.dev4

Meta build system based on Ninja and Python

Note: Craftr 2.x is different from the initial Craftr version in many ways and can not be used interchangibly. The latest version of Craftr 1.x can be found under the v1.1.4-unreleased tag.

Craftr is a meta build system based on Python 3 scripts which produces Ninja build manifests. It enforces the use of modular build definitions that can be re-used easily. Craftr provides a standard library to support various programming languages and common libraries out of the box:

• C/C++ (cURL, DLib, GoogleTest, GoogleBenchmark, tiny-dnn, Qt5, Boost, getopt)

• Cython

• C#

• Java

• Vala

Check out the Documentation and the Getting Started page.

Features

• [x] Moduler build scripts (Craftr packages) with dependency management

• [x] Loaders: if required, automatically download and build libraries from source!

• [ ] Package manager (hosted on Craftr.net)

• [ ] Embed actual Python functions into the build graph

• [ ] Dependency-version lockfiles

Installation

Craftr 2.x is currently not on PyPI so you have to install it from the Git repository. Note that the most recent version of Craftr might also require an unreleased version of the nr module, thus it is recommended to install it from the Git repository as well.
