whip-up

whip-up is a build system with strong typing. .whip files are effectively arbitrary rust code*.

• = With the exception of the Compiler and Target struct. Which are part of the internals of whip-up.

Example

.whip file ``` let gpp = Compiler { path: PathBuf::from("/usr/bin/g++"), };

let exampleprogram = Target { name: "exampleprogram", compiler: gpp, files: vec![ PathBuf::from("main.cpp"), PathBuf::from("foo/bar.hpp") ] };

example_program.build()

```

Output g++ command which gets run /usr/bin/g++ -o example_project main.cpp foo/bar.hpp

Usage

Say we have the following folder structure and a .whip file with the same contents as the example above. projects/ | └─── examples/ | └─── foo/ | └─── bar.hpp | | example.whip └─── main.cpp

Running whip-up examples/ from the projects folder will result in a binary being built in the examples folder

projects/ | └─── examples/ | └─── foo/ | └─── bar.hpp | | example.whip | example_program └─── main.cpp

About

I started working on this project during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was bored inside and decided to do something productive.

Currently this project is incredibly bare-bones and rather hacky. It should go without saying, but whip-up is not recommended for use in production.
