23 The init command initializes a project in one or more build configura‐
24 tions. The first form initializes the specified project packages (pkg-
25 spec), or, if the project itself is specified (prj-spec), all its
26 available packages, in one or more build configurations (cfg-spec) that
27 have already been associated with the project (bdep-config(1)).
28 If no project directory is specified, then the current working direc‐
30 tory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default
31 configuration is assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for details on
32 specifying projects and configurations. Optional pkg-args are the addi‐
33 tional dependency packages and/or configuration variables to pass to
34 the underlying bpkg-pkg-build(1) command.
35 The second form (--empty is specified) initializes an empty project
37 database that can later be used to first add build configurations
38 (bdep-config(1)) and then initialize project packages using the first
39 form.
40 The third (--config-add) and fourth (--config-create) forms are short‐
42 cuts to first adding an existing or newly created build configuration
43 and then initializing project packages in that configuration. Semanti‐
44 cally they are equivalent to first performing the config add or config
45 create commands (bdep-config(1)), respectively, followed by the first
46 form. Optional cfg-args in the fourth form are the additional argu‐
47 ments to the underlying bpkg-cfg-create(1) command. Note that in this
48 case to specify pkg-args without specifying cfg-args you have to use
49 two -- separators, for example:
50 $ bdep init -C ../prj-gcc @gcc -- -- ?sys:libsqlite3/*
52
54 As an example, consider project prj with two packages, foo and libfoo:
55 prj/
57 ├── foo/
58 └── libfoo/
59 The following invocations illustrate the common init use cases (the
61 current working directory is shown before the shell prompt).
62 Create new build configuration in ../prj-gcc, call it gcc, and initial‐
64 ize project packages foo and libfoo in this configuration:
65 prj/$ bdep init -C ../prj-gcc @gcc cc config.cxx=g++
67 Create new build configuration in ../prj-clang using bpkg-cfg-cre‐
69 ate(1). Then add it calling it clang and initialize project package foo
70 in this configuration:
71 prj/$ bpkg create -d ../prj-clang cc config.cxx=clang++
73 prj/$ cd foo
74 foo/$ bdep init -A ../../prj-clang @clang
75 Initialize project package libfoo in the build configuration clang:
77 foo/$ cd ..
79 prj/$ bdep init -d libfoo @clang
80 The following set of invocations achieves the same end result but using
82 the bdep-config(1) command to manage configuration.
83 Initialize an empty project database:
85 prj/$ bdep init --empty
87 Create new build configuration in ../prj-gcc, call it gcc:
89 prj/$ bdep config create ../prj-gcc @gcc cc config.cxx=g++
91 Add existing build configuration in ../prj-clang, call it clang.
93 prj/$ bdep config add ../prj-clang @clang
95 Initialize project packages foo and libfoo in build configurations gcc
97 and clang.
98 prj/$ bdep init @gcc @clang
100 Or, alternatively, in all the build configurations:
102 prj/$ bdep init -a
104
106 --empty|-E
107 Initialize an empty build configuration set.
108 --config-add|-A dir
110 Add an existing build configuration dir.
111 --config-create|-C dir
113 Create a new build configuration in dir.
114 --no-sync
116 Enter the project into the database but do not initialize it in
117 the build configurations. The initialization can be finished
118 later with an explicit bdep-sync(1) command.
119 --default
121 Make the added or created configuration the default.
122 --no-default
124 Don't make the first added or created configuration the default.
125 --forward
127 Make the added or created configuration forwarded.
128 --no-forward
130 Don't make the added or created configuration forwarded.
131 --auto-sync
133 Make the added or created configuration automatically synchro‐
134 nized.
135 --no-auto-sync
137 Don't make the added or created configuration automatically syn‐
138 chronized.
139 --existing|-e
141 Initialize a bpkg configuration based on an existing build sys‐
142 tem configuration.
143 --wipe Wipe the configuration directory clean before creating the new
145 configuration.
146 --all|-a
148 Use all build configurations.
149 --config|-c dir
151 Specify the build configuration as a directory.
152 --directory|-d dir
154 Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than
155 in the current working directory.
156 --config-name|-n name
158 Specify the build configuration as a name.
159 --config-id num
161 Specify the build configuration as an id.
162
164 The common options are summarized below with a more detailed descrip‐
165 tion available in bdep-common-options(1).
166 -v Print essential underlying commands being executed.
168 -V Print all underlying commands being executed.
170 --quiet|-q
172 Run quietly, only printing error messages.
173 --verbose level
175 Set the diagnostics verbosity to level between 0 and 6.
176 --jobs|-j num
178 Number of jobs to perform in parallel.
179 --no-progress
181 Suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such
182 as network transfers, building, etc.
183 --bpkg path
185 The package manager program to be used for build configuration
186 management.
187 --bpkg-option opt
189 Additional option to be passed to the package manager program.
190 --build path
192 The build program to be used to build packages.
193 --build-option opt
195 Additional option to be passed to the build program.
196 --curl path
198 The curl program to be used for network operations.
199 --curl-option opt
201 Additional option to be passed to the curl program.
202 --pager path
204 The pager program to be used to show long text.
205 --pager-option opt
207 Additional option to be passed to the pager program.
208 --options-file file
210 Read additional options from file.
211 --default-options dir
213 The directory to load additional default options files from.
214 --no-default-options
216 Don't load default options files.
217
219 See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default
220 options files. For the init command the search start directory is the
221 project directory. The following options files are searched for in each
222 directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:
223 bdep.options
225 bdep-{config config-add}.options # if --config-add|-A
226 bdep-{config config-add config-create}.options # if --config-create|-C
227 bdep-init.options
228 The following init command options cannot be specified in the default
230 options files:
231 --directory|-d
233 --config-add|-A
234 --config-create|-C
235 --wipe
