PyProjectBuilder

It is tool to build your c/c++ project. It is easier in use than Makefile or CMake.

Main features

• Not need to write build script
• Use incremental build
• Analyzes files dependencies

How to use

• First time run Install script
• Put in the project root directory file 'PyBuildFile.txt'
• Write your build configuration in 'PyBuildFile.txt' (see build config)
• Run python script by python3 PPBuilder.py <path to your PyBuildFile.txt> if you didn't install tool
• Run tool by PPBuild <path to your PyBuildFile.txt> if it was installed by using Install script
• By default (if no path to file) PPBuild searches 'PyBuildFile.txt' in execution directory

Tool options

--version show program's version number and exit

-a TYPE, --Action=TYPE select tool action (Build, Rebuild, Clear)
-b TYPE, --BuildType=TYPE type of build (Debug, Shipping)
-t ARCH, --TargetArch=ARCH build target architecture (x86, x86_64, arm, arm_64)
-s, --SILENT disable compilation logs
--NO_MULTIPROCESSING disable parallel compilation
