Basic CBuild usage

This is a very simple example that just demonstrates how to use CBuild for buildsystem.

It is very simple - cbuild_cmd_run is used to call command built into cbuild_cmd_t as cmd variable. By default, that function also waits for command to finish before returning, so you can treat that code as normal synchronous code.

Code

Directory structure:

examples/build/1.basic
├── src
│   └── main.c
├── cbuild.c
└── cbuild.h

main.c - Your app’s source code.

#include "stdio.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
	printf("Hello, world!\n");
	return 0;
}

cbuild.c - Your buildscript.

#define CBUILD_IMPLEMENTATION
#define CBUILD_LOG_MIN_LEVEL CBUILD_LOG_TRACE
#include "cbuild.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
	cbuild_selfrebuild(argc, argv);
	cbuild_cmd_t cmd = {0};
	cbuild_cmd_append_many(&cmd, CC, "-o", "app.run", "src/main.c");
	if (!cbuild_cmd_run(&cmd)) return 1;
	cbuild_cmd_clear(&cmd);
	return 0;
}

How to run

cc -o cbuild.run cbuild.c
./cbuild.run
./app.run
