CMake/Makefile support #5

Closed chances closed 11 months ago

chances commented 1 year ago

I'm interested in experimenting with this library.

Would you accept a PR to add a CMake and/or Makefile conversion of your Genie script?

fuzzybinary commented 1 year ago

Yes. I mostly used Genie because I"m familiar with it and got overly frustrated with both gn and Bazel (which would have potentially allowed me to build the dart_lib file directly).

I would aim for CMake over make as it seems to be more supported and because it allows project generation in places where it's not directly supported.

What about letting genie create a makefile?

See: https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie

Supported project generators: GNU Makefile

However, I've tried doing that on macos, but couldn't get the generated makefile to run successfully.

fuzzybinary commented 1 year ago

As much as I like it, one major problem with GENie is it's non-standard and has a low user base, so some of the features that don't see large use tend to decay over time (and I'm sure Make support is one of them).

In reality, supporitng something more standard like CMake is the better option long term.

Hi @chances,

I've added CMake support for Windows and Linux. Mac will come a bit later. Do you want to try it out and see if it works for you?

fuzzybinary commented 11 months ago

All platforms should be supported now. I'm sure there's lots of optimizations / improvements that can be done but we can open individual bugs for those when needed.
