First, we create an empty project through the built-in project template:
$ xmake create -P ./hello
create hello ...
create ok!At this time, xmake will generate some project files, as follows:
$ cd ./hello
$ tree .
.
├── src
│ └── main.c
└── xmake.luaThis simple program is just for printing output: hello xmake!
$ cat ./src/main.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
printf("hello xmake!\n");
return 0;
}xmake.luaIt is a project description file based on Lua syntax, it is very simple:
$ cat xmake.lua
target("hello")
set_kind("binary")
add_files("src/*.c")
Now we start to compile this program

build ok!��Xmake can also directly compile windows programs directly under the cmd terminal of windows. It will automatically detect the vs environment installed in the current system and call the cl.exe compiler inside to compile. Everything is automated, we don’t need it. What additional configuration, just need to execute: that's xmakeit. .
E.g:
$ xmake

build ok!By the way, when compiling under windows, xmake fully supports multi-tasking. The default is automatic multi-tasking. Compiling is much faster than before using gmake in msys and cygwin, because gmake under windows even if you enable it It -j 4has no effect, very, very slow. . .
