Pallet

Pallet is a project manager and build system for C inspired by Rust's Cargo.

This is a toy project not meant to be taken very seriously.

Requirements for Use

GCC is recommended as the compiler installed for Pallet projects.

You can define a different gcc compatible compiler instead per-project by editing Pallet.toml:

name = "my-app"
default_build = "debug"
compiler = "clang"

[[build]]
name = "debug"
args = [
    "-g",
    "-O0",
]

[[build]]
name = "release"
args = [
    "-DNDEBUG",
    "-O3",
]

Usage

• pallet new <project>: initializes a new project at project
• pallet init: initializes a new project in the current directory
• pallet run: runs the local project
• pallet build: builds the local project
• pallet clean: cleans the local project's build artifacts

Configuring

You can configure options by editing Pallet.toml

Options

• name: the name of the output executable
• default_build: the name of the default build profile to use

Additionally, one can define one or more build profiles with the following parameters:

• name: the name of the build profile
• args: the args to supply to gcc when using this profile

For example:

name = "my-app"
default_build = "debug"

[[build]]
name = "debug"
args = [
  "-g",
  "-O0",
]

[[build]]
name = "release"
args = [
  "-DNDEBUG",
  "-O3",
]
