Globbing Package Builder

This tool lets you describe package manifests in a way that is abstract to whatever build and configuration system you use.

The unique features of globifest provide:

• Integrated package and build configuration management (as opposed to separate tools that only do one, or have a loosely-defined concept of package manifest).
• Automation for downloading external dependencies (tools, libraries, etc...) based on the project configuration.
• Customizable ways to export configuration settings for use at compile-time or run-time.

Built-In GUI Configuration Tool

Globifest comes with a config tool written in tkinter, which uses Tcl as a backend for creating native GUI widgets.

Multiple ways to Build

The intent of Globifest is to provide a meta-build system with minimal dependencies and maximum flexibility. Supported methods of building include:

• External build scripts: Using the build command to generate files representative of the build system:
  • Include paths
  • Source files
  • Generated config files
  • etc...
• Native Python: Import the library utilize functions as necessary (primarily from Builder).
  • Integration with the waf build system provided as a tool.
• Generate scripts for external tools such as make.
