capp_env

capp_env is a simple virtual environment tool for Cappuccino.

Usage

To create a virtual environment:

capp_env -p /path/to/the/env

This will create

/path/to/the/env
    /bin
    /build
    /sources # if you want to put your sources here, but it is optional
    /narwhal

It will download the latest cappuccino_base, put it in narwhal and will create an activate file in /path/to/the/env/bin

Then you can activate this environment by doing:

source /path/to/the/env/bin/activate

your current PATH will be updated to look for jake and capp and all the tools from /path/to/the/env/narwhal/bin, and will set CAPP_BUILD to be /path/to/the/env/build.

From now on, you can clone the Cappuccino sources, (in sources for instance) and do

jake install

If you install the Cappuccino source while in an virtual env, all the tools will use the debug version that you just built (for instance, nib2cib will be used from /path/to/the/env/build/Debug/CommonJS/cappuccino/bin/nib2cib)

Deactivate

Just close the current terminal, or run

capp_env_deactivate

TODOs

- let a chance to select the current cappuccino base version to download
- find a way to make XcodeCapp to use these environements
