This repository contains files to initialize a local Creatures build environment. The build environment is built around Podman and specifically Toolbox.

The build environment contains a complete C++ environment and the build2 build system.

It also contains a Node environment and Yarn.

Creating the environment container

The easiest way to initialize the environment is by running the create.sh file.

Aliases

To simplify the usage of the build environment, copy the aliases.sh file to your ~/.bashrc.d/ directory.

This will provide aliases for b, bdep, bpkg and yarn.

Building from scratch

To build the environment from scratch, run the build.sh file.
