CuteKit

The *magical* build system and package manager




Introduction

CuteKit is a suite of tools and utilities for compiling, cross-compiling, linking, and packaging project written in low-level languages such as C, C++ or, Rust. Anything from a simple library to an operating system can be built using CuteKit.

  • ✨ It uses JSON: Cutekit uses JSON instead of introducing a whole new programming language for describing the project. And also has macros for more advanced use cases.
  • ✨ It's a package manager: Cutekit package manager is based on Git, nothing is centralized.
  • ✨ It's extendible: Cutekit can be extended by writing custom Python plugins.
  • ✨ It's portable: Cutekit works on Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

Quick-start

  • If you directly want to start using Cutekit for a new project, you can just run $ ck I host and it will create a new project in the host directory (you can rename it later).
