How to build code using the built-in samu?

[Deleted user]

I always use a standalone ninja up to now. I found that samu is embedded into the muon executable itself. But the equivalent command to meson, muon compile -C build, doesn't work (see: #43). Since there is no standalone samu executable and there is also no way to start the build via muon itself, how could I use the built-in samu?

Update: Maybe the syntax is muon -C build [something] based on the commands on Stage 2? But how to know what this [something] is? Take this project for example: https://github.com/franko/fox. I have tried everything I could think of but it always said err invalid command [something]!

Hi @iahunq2

Try muon samu -C build instead of muon compile -C build.

According to you, the command will be muon [something] -C build. But how to know what this [something] is?

Update: Ah, I get it. samu is an applet of muon. It's like busybox. So to invoke samu one has to use the command muon samu. Btw, I'm stuck with #45. Thank you anyway.

command line option -h shows feature list.

for example,

$ ./muon -h

opts:
  -v - turn on debug messages
  -C <path> - chdir to path
  -h - show this message
commands:
