• Can generate .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
• Auto add project libraries to other targets
• Get libraries as packages from github

Sample file with a library and an executable

[build]
compiler = "g++"

[[targets]]
name = "libengine"
src = "./Nomu_Engine/Engine/src/"
include_dir = "./Nomu_Engine/Engine/src/include"
type = "dll"
cflags = "-g -Wall -Wunused `pkg-config --cflags freetype2` -std=c++17"
libs = "-lm -lglew32 -lglfw3 -lopengl32 -static-libstdc++ `pkg-config --libs freetype2`"

[[targets]]
name = "main"
src = "./Nomu_Engine/Game/src/"
include_dir = "./Nomu_Engine/Game/src"
type = "exe"
cflags = "-g -Wall"
libs = "-static-libstdc++"
deps = ["libengine"]

Sample file with an added package and an executable

[build]
compiler = "g++"
packages = ["Dr-42/Nomu_Engine, master"]

[[targets]]
name = "main"
src = "./src"
include_dir = "./src"
type = "exe"
cflags = "-g -Wall "
libs = ""
deps = ["libengine"]

Optional keys in toml are packages in build and deps in targets
