Introduction (中文)
xmake is a cross-platform build utility based on lua.
The project focuses on making development and building easier and provides many features (e.g package, install, plugin, macro, action, option, task ...), so that any developer can quickly pick it up and enjoy a productivity boost when developing and building projects.

Debug and release modes:
add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
target("console")
set_kind("binary")
add_files("src/*.c")
if is_mode("debug") then
add_defines("DEBUG")
end
Custom scripts:
target("test")
set_kind("binary")
add_files("src/*.c")
after_build(function (target)
print("hello: %s", target:name())
os.exec("echo %s", target:targetfile())
end)
