Preprocessor Definitions

[yuvaldolev]

I really like this build system, it’s really awesome!
I only have one question: How do you add preprocessor definitions using bake?

[SanderMertens]

Awesome, glad you like it!

You can do this by using the cflags attribute of the lang.c (or lang.cpp, depending on whether you use C or C++) configuration:

{
    "id": "my_app",
    "type": "application",
    "lang.c": {
        "cflags": ["-DMY_DEFINITION"]
    }
}

The documentation for this attribute is here: https://github.com/SanderMertens/bake/tree/master/drivers/lang/c

While writing this, I'm thinking it would be nice to have a dedicated attribute for this, since it's such a common thing to do, and different compilers may use different compiler flags.

Awesome, thanks!
