>>Overview

DCR (Dexoron Cargo Realization) is a cross-platform build and dependency manager for C and C++, written in Rust and modeled after Cargo. One dcr.toml replaces hand-written Makefiles or CMake boilerplate — dcr new, dcr build, dcr run, dcr test and dcr add cover the full loop from scaffolding a project to shipping a release.

Dependencies can point to a local path, a Git repo, or a registry package, and are locked for reproducible builds. Cross-compilation targets use short names instead of full LLVM triples. The tool also emits compile_commands.json so VS Code and CLion get IntelliSense with zero extra config.

>>Details

>>Quick start

Scaffold and run a new project:

dcr new hello
cd hello
dcr run

Minimal dcr.toml for a C11 binary:

[package]
name = "hello"
version = "0.1.0"

[build]
language = "c"
standard = "c11"
compiler = "clang"
kind = "bin"
