jbi is a highly minimal and tiny build system written in C99 for UNIX based systems that takes the fustration and bloat that CMake or meson could bring to creating/managing a project. The entire project is around 700 lines and compiles into a 17kb executable.
jbi requires a justbuild.it file to be present in the root of a project and requires the following to inside it at a minimum
exe = projectname
cc = compiler
src = /path/to/src/ # will search through all subfolders if any
More configuration is optional, as shown below
include = /path/to/headers/ # will search through all subfolders if any
libs = sdl2
cflags = [compiler args]
ldflags = [compiler args]
pre = ./runbeforecomp
post = ./runaftercomp
When ready, simply run jbi or jbi <path to root of project> to compile your project. Run jbi -c to clean your project.
An example project using SDL2 is avalible in the example-project/ folder of this repository.
Requires pkg-config installed to run. TCC is required to build.
Make sure you have tcc installed, and simply run make. To install onto your system, run sudo make install
