Lutin Build system

What is Lutin, and how can I use it?

Lutin is an application/library builder, it is designed to concurence CMake, Makefile, Ant, graddle ...

Lutin is deveopped in Python 2.x and 3.x to permit many user to play with it.

Python permit to Lutin to be used in many environement in a fast way.

Lutin support can compile every thing you want, just add a builder that you need (not in the common way). Basicly Lutin support languages:

• C (ainsi/89/99) ==> .o;
• C++ (98/99/03/11/14/...) ==> .o;
• .S (assembleur) ==> .o;
• .java ==> .class;
• .class ==> jar;
• .o ==> .a;
• .o ==> .so;
• .o/.a ==> binary.

Some packege can be generate for some platform:

• debian package;
• windows application zip;
• MacOs application .app;
• iOs package;
• Android Package .apk.

Compilation is availlable for:

• gcc/g++;
• clang/clang++.

History:

I work with some builder, Every one have theire own adventages, and their problems. The main point I see, is that the polimorphisme of the worktree is really hard. The second point is the generation on different platforms is hard too.

Some other problem example:

• Makefile is too slow on windows mingw;
• Cmake does not create end point package;
• none is really simple to write.

Then I create a simple interface that manage all I need. and written in python to permit to be faster on every platform.
