JPM is the Janet Project Manager tool. It is for automating builds and downloading
dependencies of Janet projects. This project is a port of the original jpm tool
(which started as a single file script) to add more functionality, clean up code, make
more portable and configurable, and
refactor jpm into independent, reusable pieces that can be imported as normal Janet modules.
This also introduces parallel builds, possible MSYS support, a jpm configuration file, and more
CLI options. Other improvements are planned such as parallel dependency downloading, more
out of the box support for non-C toolchains and pkg-config, installation from sources besides git
such as remote tarballs, zipfiles, or local directories, and more.
clone this repo, and from its directory, run
$ [sudo] janet bootstrap.janet
There are also several example config files in the configs directory, and you can use the environment
variable JANET_JPM_CONFIG to use a configuration file. The config files can be either janet or jdn
files. To override/set the default configuration, replace the contents of default-config.janet with a
customized config file before installing. To select a configuration file to use to override the default
when installing, pass in a config file argument to the bootstrap.janet script, for example:
$ [sudo] janet bootstrap.janet configs/msvc_config.janet
The bootstrapping process can also be configured by setting PREFIX to install to a different system directory. Generally, you will want to install to the same directory that Janet was installed to so jpm can find the required headers and libraries for compiling C libraries.
$ [sudo] PREFIX=/usr janet bootstrap.janet
If you aleady have an installation of jpm configured, you can update jpm with
$ [sudo] jpm install jpm
which should automatically update to the latest jpm.
