How to write a build script for a C++ project
- by Paul
I am developing a C++ application on Ubuntu. The application consists of several modules, each with its makefile.
I want to have a customised command line build process that does the following:
checks code out from a repository (for specified branch/tag)
builds the app (release or debug as specified)
logs any errors etc
I am too lazy to learn Perl (I tried before, but cant seem to get my head around it). Are there any (preferably open source) tools anyone can suggest, or maybe a simpler scripting languuage - or do I really have to learn Perl?
