Module build 

nf build: check the app, compile it to machine code, and package it as a native app for an operating system.

Modules

macos 🔒

macOS apps are bundles: a folder ending in .app holding the executable and a description of the app.

windows 🔒

Windows apps are folders holding the executable, named after the app.

Structs

Request 🔒

Enums

Target 🔒

Constants

OUTPUT_DIR 🔒

Built apps go in this folder, next to the project’s entry file.

Functions

app_name 🔒

A project folder’s name, or a single file’s name without .nf.

build 🔒

Compiles and links program in a scratch folder, then writes the app around the executable, so a failure leaves an earlier build as it was. Returns the app.

link_in 🔒

Compiles and links program into an executable in scratch, and returns its path.

output_dir 🔒

parse 🔒

run 🔒

runtime_library 🔒

The runtime library every app is linked against, installed next to nf. Package managers put a link to nf on the PATH, so the lookup starts from where that link points.
