A downloadable tool


Art by: ryu241
Description:

A tool that makes building easy and more manageable in code editors, such as VSCode, Notepad++, Atom, etc..

A new rehauled version is in the works

This software was made to streamline building applications in Visual Studio Code, however, the aim is now more broad - hence the name change from 'vs code build tool' to 'C++ Auto Build Tool'.

In VS Code, projects will still compile even if the editor says it cannot find, 'example.hxx' etc, obviously only if you set up the build directories in the files this tool includes, it's pretty straight-forward.

*This version **Supports windows only!
*This version **Supports 1 project only!

***Upcoming version supports multiple projects and cmd/powershell commands, such as:
_+ pyon -b <alias> (build project based on custom alias)
_+ pyon -bb <alias1> <alias2> <alias3> <etc.....> (bulk build projects)
_+ pyon -bl (build latest opened project)
_+ pyon -n <alias> -d <dir> [optional: -o (overwrite)] (creates new project at directory)
_+ pyon -pd <alias> [optional: -o (overwrite)] (creates new project in default project directory).
_+ pyon -pudding -d <dir> (sets default project dir)

Using:
Read the readme.txt. I have included information that may help.
