example

Our example is a C project that we want to compile. You will find the sources of the project in sources of the C project.

To build this project, instead of writing a Makefile, we write our own tool, using the yamake crate. You will find the sources of this tool in sources of the demo tool

running the example

cargo run --example project_C -- -s demo_projects -b sandbox

This will:

1. Copy source files from demo_projects to sandbox
2. Scan C files for #include directives and add dependency edges
3. Build all targets in parallel where possible

node statuses

After a build, each node has one of these statuses:

• Initial: Not processed yet
• Mounted: Source file copied to sandbox
• MountedFailed: Failed to copy source
• Running: Build in progress
• Build: Successfully built
• BuildFailed: Build failed
• AncestorFailed: Skipped because a dependency failed

error handling

When a build fails:

• The failing node gets BuildFailed status
• All dependent nodes get AncestorFailed status
• make() returns false
