byggfiler

A byggfil is a configuration file used by the Bygg build system. Bygg is a build automation tool primarily developed for the D language, though it can also be used for other languages and projects. The byggfil, typically named `build.toml` or `Build.toml`, defines the structure, dependencies, and compilation steps for a project. It uses the TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) format for its configuration, making it human-readable and easy to edit.

Within a byggfil, developers specify various aspects of their build process. This includes defining source files to be compiled, external libraries or packages that the project depends on, and the commands to be executed during the build. For D projects, a common use is to specify compiler flags, include paths, and linker options. Bygg also supports defining different build configurations, such as release or debug modes, and allows for custom build tasks.

The flexibility of the byggfil enables developers to manage complex projects with intricate build requirements. It acts as a central point of control for the entire compilation and packaging process, ensuring consistency and reproducibility across different development environments. By defining dependencies and build logic in a structured format, Bygg and its associated byggfil streamline the software development lifecycle.
