DESCRIPTION

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
29       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
36       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
41       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
51       $ bdep init -C ../prj-gcc @gcc -- -- ?sys:libsqlite3/*
52

EXAMPLES

54       As an example, consider project prj with two packages, foo and libfoo:
55
56       prj/
57       ├── foo/
58       └── libfoo/
59
60       The  following  invocations  illustrate  the common init use cases (the
61       current working directory is shown before the shell prompt).
62
63       Create new build configuration in ../prj-gcc, call it gcc, and initial‐
64       ize project packages foo and libfoo in this configuration:
65
66       prj/$ bdep init -C ../prj-gcc @gcc cc config.cxx=g++
67
68       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
72       prj/$ bpkg create -d ../prj-clang cc config.cxx=clang++
73       prj/$ cd foo
74       foo/$ bdep init -A ../../prj-clang @clang
75
76       Initialize project package libfoo in the build configuration clang:
77
78       foo/$ cd ..
79       prj/$ bdep init -d libfoo @clang
80
81       The following set of invocations achieves the same end result but using
82       the bdep-config(1) command to manage configuration.
83
84       Initialize an empty project database:
85
86       prj/$ bdep init --empty
87
88       Create new build configuration in ../prj-gcc, call it gcc:
89
90       prj/$ bdep config create ../prj-gcc @gcc cc config.cxx=g++
91
92       Add existing build configuration in ../prj-clang, call it clang.
93
94       prj/$ bdep config add ../prj-clang @clang
95
96       Initialize project packages foo and libfoo in build configurations  gcc
97       and clang.
98
99       prj/$ bdep init @gcc @clang
100
101       Or, alternatively, in all the build configurations:
102
103       prj/$ bdep init -a
104

INIT OPTIONS

DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES

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
224       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
229       The following init command options cannot be specified in  the  default
230       options files:
