ceedling-subprojects
====================

Plugin for supporting subprojects that are built as static libraries. It continues to support  
dependency tracking, without getting confused between your main project files and your   
subproject files. It accepts different compiler flags and linker flags, allowing you to   
optimize for your situation.

First, you're going to want to add the extension to your list of known extensions:

```
:extension:
  :subprojects: '.a'
```

Define a new section called :subprojects. There, you can list as many subprojects  
as you may need under the :paths key. For each, you specify a unique place to build  
and a unique name.

```
:subprojects:  
  :paths:
   - :name: libprojectA
     :source:
       - ./subprojectA/first/dir
       - ./subprojectA/second/dir
     :include:
       - ./subprojectA/include/dir
     :build_root: ./subprojectA/build/dir
     :defines: 
       - DEFINE_JUST_FOR_THIS_FILE
       - AND_ANOTHER
   - :name: libprojectB
     :source:
       - ./subprojectB/only/dir
     :include:
       - ./subprojectB/first/include/dir
       - ./subprojectB/second/include/dir
     :build_root: ./subprojectB/build/dir
     :defines: [] #none for this one
```

You can specify the compiler and linker, just as you would a release build:

```
:tools:
  :subprojects_compiler:
    :executable: gcc
    :arguments:
      - -g
      - -I"$": COLLECTION_PATHS_SUBPROJECTS
      - -D$: COLLECTION_DEFINES_SUBPROJECTS
      - -c "${1}"
      - -o "${2}"
  :subprojects_linker:
    :executable: ar
    :arguments:
      - rcs
      - ${2}
      - ${1}
```

That's all there is to it! Happy Hacking!
