DCR — Dexoron Cargo Realization

A Cargo-style build tool for C/C++ projects

CI GitHub Release Platform
AUR Crates.io Homebrew
GitHub Stars License: GPL-3.0

--- ## Why DCR? - **No boilerplate** — one config file, predictable structure - **Cargo-like workflow** — `build`, `run`, `clean`, `test`, `add`, `fmt` - **Cross-compilation** — full target triple support with short names - **IDE integration** — VS Code, CLion, `compile_commands.json` out of the box - **Dependencies** — path, git, and registry-based with lock file - **Man pages** — `man dcr` and per-command pages (`man dcr-build`, `man dcr-new`, etc.) --- ## Installation

Source and release mirrors: | Region | Mirror | Contents | |---|---|---| | Worldwide | [GitHub](https://github.com/dexoron/dcr) | Source code and releases | | Worldwide | [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dcr-tool/) | Source code and releases | | Russia | [GitVerse](https://gitverse.ru/dcr_labs/dcr) | Source code | | Russia | [SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/dexoron-dev/dcr) | Source code | Release CDN (used by `dcrup`): | Code | Host | Role | |---|---|---| | `cf` | [cdn-global.dcr-tool.ru](https://cdn-global.dcr-tool.ru) (CloudFlare) | Worldwide CDN | | `gh` | GitHub Releases | Primary host | | `sf` | SourceForge | Worldwide fallback | | `ya` | [cdn-ru.dcr-tool.ru](https://cdn-ru.dcr-tool.ru) (Yandex) | Paid RU fallback for restrictions | `dcrup install` defaults to `--mirror auto` and tries **cf → gh → sf → ya**. Override with `--mirror cf|gh|sf|ya` or `DCRUP_MIRROR`. --- ## VS Code Extension Install the recommended [DCR extension by Dexoron-Labs](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Dexoron-Labs.dcr) for VS Code. Do not install Microsoft C/C++ extensions for DCR projects; DCR uses `clangd` instead. If you need debugging with Microsoft's debugger, use MS C/C++ only for its debugger component. Recommended companion extensions: - [Even Better TOML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tamasfe.even-better-toml) - [CodeLLDB](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vadimcn.vscode-lldb), or MS C/C++ for debugger support only --- ## Contributors
