I’ve made a build tool to replace make. It’s intended to be very similar to make, but with modern features that make lacks.
Check it out on crates.io!
Basic usage
Make a file called tasks.su. Write the following in your taskfile.
a.out: main.o
% < *.o
g++ $^ -o $@
Make sure the indentation is made with a hard tab. The syntax is very similar to
Make, but unlike Make, pattern rules are separated from normal build rules.
Normal build rules are called tasks, which have dependencies. In order to build
tasks, there are recipes defined with <. Recipes take patterned files, which
then run commands. $@ is the target name while $^ are the dependencies.
After writing the taskfile, create a build directory and run the suru command
inside of it.
Installation
If you have rustup, use cargo install --locked suru to install it.
New features
- Automatic dependency scanning! (No more manually including .d files)
- Relocatable roots. The build command automatically checks parent directories for build files.
