WE HAVE MOVED

We have moved to Gitorious. You can find our new project home at https://gitorious.org/buildgen.

BuildGen

BuildGen is a cross-platform build script generator. It reads simple configuration files and creates an output such and an IDE project or a Makefile.

How do I use BuildGen

A complete tutorial is available under Documentation. The basic building of a project is as follows.

1 2 3 4 5 6

#! /bin/bash mkdir build # Create a build directory cd build # Move into the build directory gen ${pathtosrc} # Generate the build scripts make # or whatever generator is default

Documentation is available on the wiki. Please feel free to add and make corrections. If you feel something is incorrect but are not sure please ask. You might be right.
