Writing project files with AMBuild is fairly easy. This tutorial will guide you through making simple AMBuild scripts to compile and package a C++ project.
Simple Project
To begin, let's say we have a sample project with the following files:
$ ls goodbye.cpp helpers.cpp README.txt
To start, we need to generate a default AMBuild configure script. This is the script that will perform the "configure" step for your build. You can generate one with the following command:
$ ambuild --gen-configure $ ls configure.py goodbye.cpp helpers.cpp README.txt
The configure script simply invokes AMBuild. It can be modified (as we'll see later) to take extra command line options.
$ cat configure.py # vim: set ts=2 sw=2 tw=99 noet: import sys, ambuild2.run prep = run.PrepareBuild(sys.path[0]) prep.Configure()
