Describe the feature
Extend build system with a build.v
in the project to improve it and add steps to build project. It's inspiring from Zig lang (https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Zig-Build-System).
This file is optional.
Use Case
The principals use cases for me are following:
- Download and build binding library in wrapper project
- Custom build according to OS or architecture
- Run some action pre or post build
- many other things ...
Proposed Solution
The build.v
file must have access to all V Standard Library but only this. No external modules.
It must have access to the .mod
file to retrieve external dependencies to download these.
I see 3 functions, pre
, build
and post
. No need to describe these ;)
Create a new module named build
to expose functions to simplify compilation steps.
Add new V command v init --build
to create build.v
later.
