Just Build It
 |

|:-----------------------------------------------:|:---------------------------------------------------:|


jbi is a highly minimal and tiny build system written in C99 for UNIX based systems that takes the fustration and bloat that CMake or meson could bring to creating/managing a project. The entire project is around 700 lines and compiles into a 17kb executable.

jbi requires a `justbuild.it` file to be present in the root of a project and requires the following to inside it at a minimum

```

exe = projectname

cc = compiler

src = /path/to/src/ # will search through all subfolders if any

```

More configuration is optional, as shown below

```

include = /path/to/headers/ # will search through all subfolders if any

libs = sdl2

cflags = [compiler args]

ldflags = [compiler args]

pre = ./runbeforecomp

post = ./runaftercomp

```

When ready, simply run `jbi` or `jbi ` to compile your project. Run `jbi -c` to clean your project.

An example project using SDL2 is avalible in the example-project/ folder of this repository.

# Dependencies

Requires pkg-config installed to run. TCC is required to build.

# Building

Make sure you have tcc installed, and simply run `make`. To install onto your system, run `sudo make install`
