Description

Package name

build2-toolchain

Package homepage

https://github.com/build2/build2-toolchain

Description

All-in-one native multi-threaded cross-platform build-toolchain for C/C++ projects written in C++ with no third-party dependencies.

*Not a meta build-system or a build-system generator.

This package may have to be broken down into smaller packages as it contains different packages which make up the whole toolchain. It includes the build system (build2), package dependency manager (bpkg), project dependency manager
(bdep), and their prerequisite libraries as subprojects.

Main website: https://build2.org/
There's also offline tarballs available: https://build2.org/install-faq.xhtml#offline

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the build2-toolchain homepage and its offline tarballs to understand the build2, bpkg, bdep, and prerequisite components. Determine whether the request should be split into packages; done means the selected package layout is defined and the toolchain can be built and installed through Void's packaging system.
