compiler_cΒΆ

Try to detect a C compiler from the list of supported compilers (gcc, msvc, etc):

def options(opt):
        opt.load('compiler_c')
def configure(cnf):
        cnf.load('compiler_c')
def build(bld):
        bld.program(source='main.c', target='app')

The compilers are associated to platforms in waflib.Tools.compiler_c.c_compiler. To register a new C compiler named cfoo (assuming the tool waflib/extras/cfoo.py exists), use:

from waflib.Tools.compiler_c import c_compiler
c_compiler['win32'] = ['cfoo', 'msvc', 'gcc']

def options(opt):
        opt.load('compiler_c')
def configure(cnf):
        cnf.load('compiler_c')
def build(bld):
        bld.program(source='main.c', target='app')

Not all compilers need to have a specific tool. For example, the clang compilers can be detected by the gcc tools when using:

$ CC=clang waf configure
