# CppBuild

An alternative build system where you write your build script in c++. Something like this could be in the c++ standard for simple programs.

You can use this file on Windows with the MinGW compiler. Put the files ``cppbuild.cmd`` and ``cppbuild.hpp`` in any folder from your PATH. Then create your build file with the name ``__build__.cpp`` and add the following code to this file:

```c++

#include 

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

    cppbuild::init(argc, argv);

    cppbuild::Target target("program");

    target.files({

                "program.cpp",

                "library.cpp",

            });

    target.includeDirs({

        "include",

    });

    return 0;

}

```

This will create one target with the name ``program`` that will compile and link the files ``program.cpp`` and ``library.cpp`` into ``program.exe``. It will add the ``include`` directory as -I parameter to the compiler.

The following methods can be used on the cppbuild::Target class:

* ``files`` - Adds files to compile

* ``includeDirs`` - Adds directories with the ``-I`` parameter

* ``libraries`` - Adds libraries with the ``-l`` parameter

* ``libraryDirs`` - Adds directories with the ``-L`` parameter

* ``compilerFlags`` - Adds compiler flags

* ``linkerFlags`` - Adds linker flags

* ``installDir`` - Adds directory to install build artifacts into

* ``installFiles`` - Adds files to install

## Cppbuild command and its parameters

To build your program open a commandline window at the folder containing the ``__build__.cpp`` and type ``cppbuild``.

The following parameters can be passed to the ``cppbuild`` command:

* ``clean`` - Cleans all build files

* ``build`` - Builds all project targets

* ``test`` - Runs all project tests

* ``run`` - Runs project target

* ``install`` - Installs the project
