Command stdout may now be captured into an alias.
This means that commands are now lazily expanded as they're executed, to ensure that you can use aliases only defined halfway through.

Zbuild

zbuild is a modern makefile-like build automation tool.

Guide

Zbuild uses a file to specify all rules. It will look for for the nearest zbuild.zb file in the current or parent directories.

Examples

See the examples/ directory for examples.

In particular the examples/simple_c/zbuild.zb is a fully documented example that helps you understand how zbuild works.

Watching

Zbuild can "watch" your build, re-running rules whenever files are updated. This can be activated with the --watch flag. See zbuild --help for more details.
