Examples

In this example, we'll create a small C program using tup. The program itself will be completely useless, but hopefully you can use your imagination to see how you might use tup in a real project. Let's start with a typical "Hello, world!" in C. Since we're using tup, you'll want to create a Tupfile.ini file or run tup init at the top of the project, which in this example will be the tup_test directory.

Tup handles dependencies a little differently from other build systems. In this example, we'll show how the dependencies that you specify in a Tupfile work together with the dependencies determined automatically during the program's execution.

Here we will show how to write a Tupfile to handle a fairly common use-case: an automatically generated header file.

Now our program grows beyond the confines of a single directory. Here we'll see how Tupfiles can share variables and :-rules.
