knob.h

knob.h is a single-header library that serves as a way to build your C projects with a C executable.

As simple as(cc == your c compiler):

$ cc ./knob.c -o knob
$ ./knob

Windows Users:

Since M$ wants developers to depend on them when making applications, compiling a simple .c or .cpp file can be tedious. To correct this stupidity, users can install Zig to use as a C or C++ compiler. The easiest way to install it so that it is easily available on the command-line is by using scoop.sh and doing:

scoop install zig
# After install you can do this following command, as zig will now be on the system PATH:
zig cc ./knob.c -o knob.exe

Examples:

To test out the examples in vscode, modify the tasks.json and launch.json to specify the directory to the example you are testing. launch.json:

    {
    "name": "(knob) Launch",
    // ...
    "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/examples/submodule",
    //...
    }

tasks.json:

{
    "label": "Build knob",
    //...
    "args": [
        //...
        "${workspaceFolder}/examples/submodule/knob.c",
        //...
    ],
},

Much thanks goes to rexim on making nob and nobuild, the first iterations upon which knob is built.
