Usage

Bob automates a number of tasks commonly encountered when building and testing software, this is reflected in the design of Bob. Bob provides a shothand for common tasks such as executing unit-test, code linters, sanitizers, etc.

Tasks:

• bootstrap

• configure

• build

• (test)

• (install)

• (lint)

• (check)

Essentialy, each task generates a set of commands to perform their task. And given that tasks can depend on each other, executing a single task will ensure all depending tasks are executed.

You can customize the build environement using a single human readable configuration file.

Installation

Bob is availble on PyPi:

(.venv) $ pip install bob-the-developer

Configuration

TODO: show how to define a target TODO: show how to add compile options

Compiling a codebase

By default, Bob will use the compile for your host environement using the first compiler/toolchain it can find.

(.venv) $ bob compile

If you want to compile for a specific target, you can specify that as follows:

(.venv) $ bob compile (target)

You define targets in your projects configuration file.
