# Nimplate Build System
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The Nimplate build system provides type-safe, isolated, and cacheable source compilation for NexusOS packages. It supports multiple build systems through a unified template interface.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Type-Safe Templates**: Compile-time validated build configurations
|
|
- **Environment Isolation**: Sandboxed builds prevent system contamination
|
|
- **Build Caching**: Hash-based incremental compilation
|
|
- **Multi-System Support**: CMake, Autotools, Meson, Cargo, Nim, and custom builds
|
|
- **Artifact Tracking**: Complete build result and artifact management
|
|
|
|
## Supported Build Systems
|
|
|
|
| System | Status | Description |
|
|
|-----------|--------|-------------|
|
|
| CMake | ✅ Full | Modern C/C++ builds with configure/build/install |
|
|
| Autotools | ✅ Full | Traditional configure/make/install workflow |
|
|
| Meson | 🔧 Framework | Modern build system (implementation ready) |
|
|
| Cargo | 🔧 Framework | Rust package builds (implementation ready) |
|
|
| Nim | 🔧 Framework | Native Nim compilation (implementation ready) |
|
|
| Custom | 🔧 Framework | User-defined build scripts |
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```nim
|
|
import nimpak/build_system
|
|
|
|
# Create build template
|
|
let buildTmpl = BuildTemplate(
|
|
system: CMake,
|
|
configureArgs: @["-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"],
|
|
buildArgs: @["--parallel"],
|
|
installArgs: @["--prefix", "/usr"]
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Execute build
|
|
let result = buildFromTemplate(buildTmpl, "/path/to/source")
|
|
|
|
if result.success:
|
|
echo "Build completed in ", result.buildTime, "s"
|
|
echo "Artifacts: ", result.artifacts.len
|
|
else:
|
|
echo "Build failed: ", result.buildLog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
- **NimplateExecutor**: Main execution engine
|
|
- **BuildEnvironment**: Isolated build environment management
|
|
- **BuildResult**: Comprehensive result tracking
|
|
- **Build Caching**: Hash-based incremental compilation
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
Run the build system tests:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nim c --hints:off nip/tests/test_build_system_simple.nim
|
|
./nip/tests/test_build_system_simple
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
- Task 13.2: Integration with CAS and packaging
|
|
- Enhanced build system implementations
|
|
- Container-based isolation
|
|
- Advanced caching strategies |
