Build

$ go get -u github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra
$ go get -u github.com/BurntSushi/toml
$ go get -u github.com/pkg/errors
$ go get -u github.com/satori/go.uuid
$ go build

Requirements:

  • Go >= 1.9

Usage

$ cd path/to/baselard
$ go build

# For generally usage
$ ./baselard ninja -i examples/app/build.toml

# Building C++ projects for macOS with Ninja
$ ./baselard ninja -i examples/app/build.toml -t mac -t apple
$ ninja

# Generating Visual Studio projects
$ ./baselard msbuild -i examples/app/build.toml -g out
$ MSBuild.exe out/out.sln -t:Build -p:Configuration=Release

# Generating Xcode projects (WIP)
$ ./baselard xcode -i examples/app/build.toml -o out
