~~Simple C++ build system because I hate CMake~~

i still hate CMake but mei is now a generator for CMake configs

TODO

- [ ] ~~Switch to clang~~
- [ ] ~~Generate compile commands instead of compiling
using clang -Mj option~~
- [ ] Other things I will find a need for
- [x] Generate CMakeLists.txt files
- [x] Support xrepo packages
- [ ] Avoid creating an npm project (ship types somehow)

Usage

$3

To create a new project with the name mei-is-cool, run the following command:

``bash
$ npx @sweetacid/mei -n mei-is-cool
[CREATE] mei-is-cool/src/main.cpp
[CREATE] mei-is-cool/build.ts
`

This will generate a new directory mei-is-cool with the following files:

* src/main.cpp – example source file
* build.ts – build configuration file (we'll edit this next)

If you want to add the config to an existing project, navigate to your project directory and run:

`bash
$ npx @sweetacid/mei -c
up to date, audited 21 packages in 2s

found 0 vulnerabilities
[CREATE] build.ts
`

This will add a build.ts file to your project directory that configures the build process.

$3

`typescript
// mei-is-cool/build.ts

export default async function (builder: Builder) {
await builder
.addExecutable("mei-is-cool") // Define the executable name
.addDirectory("src") // Add the source directory
.define("MEI_IS_REALLY_COOL") // Define a preprocessor macro
.build(); // Trigger the build process
}
`

You can modify this file to suit your project's needs. For example, you can add more source directories, define
additional macros, or configure other build options. Check out the test folder in this repository for examples.

To generate the CMakeLists.txt configuration for your project, simply run:

`bash
$ npx @sweetacid/mei


no output means all went well

check out CMakeLists.txt in the project's directory
