craftr-build 2.0.0.dev5

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

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

Contributions

Craftr is a one-man-show and an immature piece of software. I am happy about every contribution and feedback, be it questions, criticism, feature requests, bug reports or pull requests!

I would love to see Craftr used by more people. If you think it’s worth to give it a shot, don’t hesitate to ask if you’re getting stuck!

Installation

Craftr 2.x does not have a stable release yet, though the 2.0.0.devx tags are already available on PyPI. If you do not explicitly specify the version number, Pip will install Craftr 1.x.

$ pip install craftr-build==2.0.0.dev5

To get the cutting edge development version, I suggest installing Craftr from the Git repository into a virtualenv.

$ virtualenv -p python3 env && source env/bin/activate
$ git clone https://github.com/craftr-build/craftr.git -b development
$ cd craftr
$ pip install -e .
