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.
