Custom Build Tool

This is my own custom build tool made in rust-lang.

The premise is that it is a single executable that parses a build.cfg. The build cfg can have variables, tasks, and an execution order.

Below is an example.

Syntax

$variable = value

[task_name]
command = program $variable

[execute]
task_name

Arguments

• -powershell to run your build with powershell
• -async to run your tasks asynchronously

Example Build.cfg

$sources = test/main.cpp
$output = test/test.exe

[build]
command = g++ $sources -o $output

[run]
command = ./test/test.exe

[execute]
build
run

Example Output

info: reading build.cfg...
info: found 2 var(s) and 2 task(s)
task(build): finished
task(run): finished

Hello, World!
