C++ Build Utility
Fab is a rough cut of a next generation build system for C/C++.
The philosophy behind fab is that builds should be configured, not scripted.
90% of projects don't need a custom build script, and if they set up their build in a more structured, standardized way, it would make code reuse and interoperability between C/C++ projects tremendously easier.
The goal is to make a build system whose build configurations:
- Contain no platform/compiler specific options
- Make it easy to link in dependencies
- Allow you to depend on only a portion of a much larger project
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Fab is self-hosted, so once you build it, you can use it to build itself.
./build/fab
