Simple buildsystem for C/C++ projects

Building C/C++ projects is often done with make or an ide backed system a la visual studio/eclipse etc. Makefiles are the most flexible solution, IDEs offer some comfort but configurations are often not very accessible.

cxx_configuration do
  exe "basic",
    :sources => FileList['**/*.cpp'],
    :dependencies => ['2']
  exe "debug",
    :sources => FileList['**/*.cpp'],
    :dependencies => ['2_debug']
end

Start using cxxproject

$ gem install cxxproject

Installation from source

$ rake install

should install the freshly built gem (if you need sudo, please install the package by hand via rake package)

$ sudo gem install pkg/...
