faff 0.1.8

Make build tool substitute written in Python.

Faff is a Make build tool substitute written in Python. Input files similar to Makefile’s define rules which are used to build arbitrary targets that may have dependencies.

Installation

Install using pip.

$ pip install faff

Quickstart

Create a file in a new directory called faffin.py.

$ mkdir -p DIR && cd DIR
$ touch faffin.py

Content of faffin.py file.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
from faff import (Variable, FileTarget, Rule, Run)

# Absolute path to directory.
root = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# Root variable definition.
Variable("ROOT", root)

# File targets with path variable expansion.
SOURCE = FileTarget("{ROOT}", "main.c")
BINARY = FileTarget("{ROOT}", "main")

# Compile and run binary rule.
@Rule([BINARY, SOURCE])
def all(target, depends, args):
    Run("gcc {_D} -o {_T}", root)
    Run("main", root)
