Very VERY interesting!
The one thing that I'm currently struggling to find information on is dynamic dependency handling (dyndep in ninja terms).
Is that something that build2 covers as well? Any resource you could point me to?
- boris 6y agoDynamic dependencies are supported by build2 (this is, for example, how we handle auto-generated C/C++ headers) but it's not something that is exposed in ad hoc recipes that are written in Buildscript yet (but is exposed in those written in C++). Our plan is to start with the ability to "ingest" make dependency declarations since quite a few tools are able to produce those. Would something like this cover your use-cases?
- skore 6y agoVery likely, yes. I'm generating my own makefiles anyways, so generating something that build2 could consume should be possible, too. Would it be appropriate to open a github issue for discussing this further? I would like to share some example for how my current setup is working and having the github syntax available would be helpful.
