MBUILD

mbuild is an automation build system which is created in the consideration of build process of large code bases and simplify the build processes. and also for managing nested builds.

Design

• the design is very user friendly specially if you have used make file before. it is just you write targets once and do the commands your self like:

list-files:
    ls -la
    

• If you want to use groups just do the target name and put your arrays of targets in [] but even the last one must contain ',' infront of it and there is no space allowed between members of your group array, And this target runs the target of its own Mbuildfile file not other targets of Mbuildfile files in other directories!

build-kernel:
  [compile-kernel,compile-some-other-so,compile-syscalls,]

• Mbuild also supports nested builds, so you gotta create Mbuildallfile file like the following syntax and run mbuild :all:

{
  wd: Desktop/my_cool_project;
  target: compile_necessary;
}
{
  wd: Desktop/my_cool_project_final;
  target: compile_polish;
}

but don't forget to insert new line at the end the build file

• you must create the build file in your working directory called "Mbuildfile"
• spaces are not allowed. it must be specifically a tab following the ':' after the target name to type the command

Requirements

-> linux kernel

-> libc

-> glibc malloc memory grabbing size at least

installation

-> Fedora linux or RPM package

#enable copr to mbuild
sudo dnf copr enable message-beast/mbuild
#install mbuild
sudo dnf install mbuild

-> manual way?

• make sure you clone the repo

#clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/message-beast/mbuild
cd mbuild

#install it
sudo make compile

run:

    mbuild --help
