    "installDir": "_install",

    "vars": {

        "depsDir": "./deps/",

        "cflags": "-O3 -std=c++17"

    },

    "targets": [{

        "name": "eokas",

        "type": "executable",

    

        "cflags": ["${cflags}"],

        "lflags": [],

        "defines": [

            "_WINDOW_WIDTH=800",

            "_WINDOW_HEIGHT=600",

            "_WINDOW_TITLE=\"my-demo\""

        ],

        "includes": [

            "-I${depsDir}"

        ],

        "libraries": [

            "./src/*.cpp"

        ],
