Xmake.nvim

🎐 Features

• Lightning-fast startup speed of 1-3ms (tested on Dell G15 5515 with ArchLinux)
• Automatically generates compile_commands.json for lsp when saving xmake.lua
• Provides a run command, so no need to open an extra window to run a target

🏗 Installation

lazy.nvim

{
    "Mythos-404/xmake.nvim",
    version = "^3",
    lazy = true,
    event = "BufReadPost xmake.lua",
    config = true,
}

mini.deps

add("Mythos-404/xmake.nvim")

Requirements

• Neovim 0.10+
• (Optional) toggleterm.nvim for providing a runner
• (Optional) nvim-dap for debugging support
• (Optional) nvim-notify for enhanced UI for vim.notify
• (Optional) Plugins to patch vim.ui (e.g., dressing.nvim)

💡 Commands

• Xmake[!] run <target|all|@> [args] Run target
• Xmake[!] debug <target|all|@> [args] Debug target
• Xmake[!] build <target|all|@> Build target
• Xmake[!] clean <target|all|@> Clean target
• Xmake mode <mode> Set build mode
• Xmake arch <arch> Set target architecture
• Xmake plat <plat> Set target platform
• Xmake toolchain <toolchain> Set toolchain

Tip

• ! will call clean before executing the command
• @ executes the last run target
• all will use xmake's --all option to run
• args are command line arguments passed to the target

✨ Usage with Other Plugins

To use with status line plugins like lualine.nvim, here's an example for lualine.nvim:

require("lualine").setup({
    sections = {
       lualine_y = {
            {
                function()
                    if not vim.g.loaded_xmake then return "" end
                    local Info = require("xmake.info")
                    if Info.mode.current == "" then return "" end
                    if Info.target.current == "" then return "Xmake: Not Select Target" end
                    return ("%s(%s)"):format(Info.target.current, Info.mode.current)
                end,
                cond = function()
                    return vim.o.columns > 100
                end,
            }
        }
    }
})
