@@ -54,8 +54,9 @@ Cross compilation currently only works from linux64 to win64 by using mingw-w64.
Cross compilation does currently not work if you have zig files as zig doesn't support libc when cross compiling at the moment.
You can run `scripts/mingw_package.py` to automatically copy dynamic library dependencies of your executable to the same directory as the executable, so the library can be found when running the executable on windows; this also allows you to bundle your application and distribute it without external dependencies. To run `scripts/mingw_package.py` you need to install pefile python library `sudo pip install pefile`.
# IDE support
-Sibs generates a compile_commands.json in the project root directory when executing `sibs build` and tools that support clang completion can be used, such as YouCompleteMe. To generate compile_commands.json that also finds header files (non-relative) you need to have compdb installed and availabile in your PATH environment variable: https://github.com/Sarcasm/compdb
-There are several editors that support YouCompleteMe, including Vim, Emacs and Visual Studio Code. Visual studio code now also supports clang completion with C/C++ extension by Microsoft; the extension will ask you which compile_commands.json file you want to use and you can choose the compile_commands.json in the project root directory.

I recommend using Visual Studio Code along with cquery (https://github.com/cquery-project/cquery/wiki), which gives you very good IDE support for your C/C++ projects:

# Tests
If your project contains a sub directory called "tests" then that directory will be used a test project. The test directory may contain a project.conf file which can contain \[dependencies] block for specifying test only dependencies. The test automatically includes the parent project as a dependency.
