Minimal cargo but for c/c++

Introduction

We all love cargo, having an idea, do cargo new, type our idea and cargo r, easy right? Well... sometimes you want to do that in C or C++ but you have to create a Makefile, or use CMake or the cli, but in all these scenarios adding tests/examples/benchs is hard. The philosophy is from something simple then be able to expand to more complex stuff. You want to just create a simple binary app? amargo new myproject. You want to create a dynamic library? amargo new mylib --dylib. Wanna test the stuff in the tests folder? amargo test. Just compile? amargo build or amargo build release.

Get Started

For the moment a simple cargo b should work

Platforms

• ✔️ Windows 7,8,10,11
• ⚠️ Linux (not tested)
• ⚠️ macOS (not tested)

Objectives

• ✔️ Minimal functional state (create binary project and compile with release or debug)
  
• ✔️ Support more compilers than clang
  
• ❌ Support more types of crate (dynamic libs, static libs, header only)
  
• ⚠️ Don't recompile if isn't needed and compile just the needed sources
  
  • ✔️ Incremental compilation for sources
    
  • ❌ Incremental compilation for headers (needs parsing)
    
• ❌ Have some sort of config file (maybe using toml)
  
• ❌ Support tests
  
• ❌ Support benchmarks
  
• ❌ Maybe external dependencies? (using vcpkg or a custom dependency system)
  

Contribution

Pls help me, through the code there are a lot of TODOs if you wanna help, but pls comment a lot what you do and don't be afraid of creating new TODOs
