Ninja Builds
Cabin plans deterministic Ninja graphs for libraries, executables, tests, and examples.
Package management for C and C++
Build C/C++ packages with a Cargo-style workflow
Cabin uses declarative manifests, deterministic build plans, and local foundation ports for conventional C/C++ projects.
What Cabin handles
Cabin keeps package metadata, toolchain selection, and Ninja generation in one Rust workspace.
Typed Diagnostics
CLI errors come from domain errors and render through cabin-diagnostics.
Foundation Ports
Bundled recipes cover zlib, libpng, SQLite, tinyxml2, cJSON, and xxHash.
C And C++
C and C++ standards, compilers, and flags stay separate in mixed projects.
Local Package Flow
Package archives, file registries, vendoring, and lockfiles stay deterministic.
Toolchain Dialects
Toolchain resolution covers GCC, Clang, and MSVC command shapes.
Start with a package
Create a project, add dependencies, inspect the build graph, and publish to a local file registry.
