Hi.
Yes. You need to edit the hmake.cpp to define the new configuration. You can create custom configurations very easily e.g. a configuration in which half the targets are built with debug symbols while the other half are not. And you don't need to build each configuration manually. One hbuild command in build-dir will build all the configurations. But you can build only one configuration by cd build-dir/conf build
If I understand you correctly then it is a serious issue. The way build systems, which I am aware of, work is that project authors define how targets are to be built given certain circumstances, and then project users decide what the circumstances are. For example (using b2): lib a : a.cpp : <link>static:<define>STATIC_BUILD ; This defines a target which has one source file, and IF the target is built with static linking, the macro STATIC_BUILD is defined. The build script does not limit the build to static or dynamic linking. The user can choose to build a static library, a dynamic library, or both. It doesn't require the user to change the build script. Same for debug or release builds, or using different compilers. The user can even define more macros or set specific compiler and linker flags. None of that requires changing the build script. At most the user would edit a special configuration file. So, do I understand you correctly that this is not how hmake works, and one would have to change the build script for any variation of build circumstances? I.e. if I want to add a static build to a library, enable a sanitizer, use a different compiler, add a specific compiler flag, define a macro, disable exceptions, change strictness of warnings --- any of that would require a change to the build script.
