#include "build.h"

The Gist

Your build system is just C code.

// build.c
#define INCLUDEBUILD_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "build.h"

int main() {
    ib_init();
    ib_build(); // Automatically finds and builds your project
    return 0;
}

Compile and run it:

$ gcc -o build build.c
$ ./build
[INFO] IncludeBuild v1.0.2 initialized
[INFO] Building target: app
[INFO] Compiling: src/main.c
[INFO] Linking: build/app
[INFO] Build successful.

Why?

• Minimalism: Single header file (`build.h`). Copy it and go.
• Transparency: It's just C. You can debug your build system.
• Zero Dependencies: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux with just a C compiler.
• Self-Contained: No need to install Python, CMake, Ninja, or Make.

Getting Started

2. Create a `build.c` file in your project root.

3. Define `INCLUDEBUILD_IMPLEMENTATION` in exactly one file (usually `build.c`) if you are customizing the implementation, or just link against it.

Note: The basic usage just needs included header.

Features

• Automatic dependency tracking (rebuilds only what changed).
• Cross-platform path handling.
• Support for custom compiler flags and include directories.
• Parallel compilation (coming soon).
