Meique

A simple and small building tool written in C++ based on Lua

Summary

Meique is a building tool, similar to Scons, written in C++ that uses Lua as script language.

A fully incomplete documentation about the usage of meique can be found here.

Project goals

1. Easy to use and easy to learn, make use of the knowledge that any programmer already have, you dont need to learn a exotic syntax of a more exotic configuration file or similar thing (I hope).
2. Written in C++, compatible with all POSIX compatible OS.
3. Optional i18n support (using GNU gettext).
4. Extensible through plugins written in Lua or C++.

Features:

• Compile, link C and C++ sources.
• Multiple targets.
• Target dependence.
• pkg-config support (and any *-config program).
• GNU gettext message catalogs support.

Download

Meique download is avaliable at luaforge project download page.
