• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  I will not suggest truly old-school Java programming. When I started in Java, we built Java classes with the javac command. This led to writing shell scripts to build complex projects and finally, Makefiles using the Unix and Windows commands make and nmake respectively. I remember being thrilled when the Ant utility came out and we had a pure Java build tool. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

  Didn't know that people still use Ant for building their source code. Source: over 1 year ago

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants). - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Build error when running 'nix build', running build steps by hand with 'nix develop' works

  You are missing a dependency: antlr. You have ant instead, which is something completely different. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Hello World

  Wow, if you curl it, there's a lot of boilerplate code there. Maybe built using Bazel? https://bazel.build. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• How to write unit tests in C++ relying on non-code files?

  This is a problem that Bazel (https://bazel.build) solves in a very convenient way. You can just keep using the paths relative to the repository root, and as long as you properly declare your test needs that file it will access it without problems. Or you can use the runfile libraries to access them too. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• My first Software Release using GitHub Release

  When doing research for this lab exercise I looked at both vcpkg and conan. Both are package managers that would automate the installation and configuration of my program with its dependencies. However, when it came to releasing and sharing my program my options were limited. For example, the central public registry for conan packages is conan-center, but these packages are curated and the process is very... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Declarative Gradle is a cool thing I am afraid of: Maven strikes back

  NOTE: I won’t mention SBT and Leiningen here because, with all due respect, they are niche build tools. I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained). Additionally, I won’t touch upon Bazel and Buck in this context, mainly because I’m not very familiar with them. If you have insights or comments about these tools, please feel free to share them in the comments 👇. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• A Modern C Development Environment

  > None of this solves C's only REAL problem (in my opinion) which is the lack of dependency management. Bazel solves this really nicely, I know some people have strong opinions on it but I cannot recommend it enough https://bazel.build/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
