Description
Currently setting up the build system is a chore. Adding nectar as a package looks like this:
pub fn build(b: *std.build.Builder) void {
const mode = b.standardReleaseOptions();
const nectar = std.build.Pkg{
.name = "nectar",
.path = .{ .path = "libs/nectar/src/main.zig" },
.dependencies = &.{
.{ .name = "nectar:core", .path = .{ .path = "libs/nectar/core/src/main.zig" } },
.{ .name = "nectar:midi", .path = .{ .path = "libs/nectar/midi/src/main.zig" } },
.{ .name = "nectar:vst2", .path = .{ .path = "libs/nectar/vst2/src/main.zig" } },
},
};
// snip
}And as we add more packages, it will only get more complex. It would be nice to simplify this package import to something like
const nectarBuild = @import("libs/nectar/build.zig");
pub fn build(b: *std.build.Builder) void {
const nectar = nectarBuild.generatePackage("libs/nectar/");
}
