Introduction

• Website
• Github

Features

• Create projects and supports many project templates
• Support c/c++, objc/c++, swift and assembly language
• Automatically probe the host environment and configure project
• Provide some built-in actions (config, build, package, clean, install, uninstall and run)
• Provide some built-in plugins (doxygen, macro, project)
• Provide some built-in macros (batch packaging)
• Describe the project file using lua script, more flexible and simple
• Custom packages, platforms, plugins, templates, tasks, macros, options and actions
• Do not generate makefile and build project directly
• Support multitasking with argument: -j

Actions

• config: Configure project before building.
• global: Configure the global options for xmake.
• build: Build project.
• clean: Remove all binary and temporary files.
• create: Create a new project using template.
• package: Package the given target
• install: Install the project binary files.
• uninstall: Uninstall the project binary files.
• run: Run the project target.

Plugins

• The doxygen plugin: Make doxygen document from source codes
• The macro plugin: Record and playback commands
• The hello plugin: A simple plugin demo to show 'hello xmake!'
• The project plugin: Create the project file for IDE (.e.g makefile and vs, xcode in the feature ...)

Languages

• C/C++
• Objc/Objc++
• Swift
• Assembly

Platforms

• Windows (x86, x64, amd64, x86_amd64)
• Macosx (i386, x86_64)
• Linux (i386, x86_64, cross-toolchains ...)
• Android (armv5te, armv6, armv7-a, armv8-a, arm64-v8a)
• iPhoneos (armv7, armv7s, arm64, i386, x86_64)
• Watchos (armv7k, i386)
• Mingw (i386, x86_64)

In the plans

• Manage package and dependence
• Download package automaticlly
• Create package repository for porting other third-party source codes, it's goal is that one people port it and many people shared.
• Implement more plugins
• Create more project file for IDE (.e.g vs, xcode ..)

Quote:[^]

mqtt-spy is probably one of the most advanced open source utilities for publishing and monitoring activity on MQTT topics. It is suitable for basic day-to-day usage and power users who need an advanced utility for their MQTT-based systems.

Bareos.org[^]

Bareos is a 100% open source fork of the backup project from bacula.org. The fork is in development since late 2010, it has a lot of new features.
