Acton Projects
Besides compiling individual .act
files, it is possible to organize Acton source files into a an Acton Project, which simplifies many common tasks.
Use actonc
to create a project called foo
:
actonc new foo
Output:
Created project foo
Enter your new project directory with:
cd foo
Compile:
actonc build
Run:
./out/bin/foo
Description
Use actonc build
to build a project. The current working directory must be the project directory or a sub-directory to the project directory. actonc
will discover all source files and compile them according to dependency order.
Add a main
actor to any source file directly under src/
to produce an executable binary. For example, if src/hello.act
contains a main
actor, it will produce out/bin/hello
using main
as the root actor.
