└── xmake.lua

It is a simple console program only for printing hello xmake!

The content of xmake.lua is very simple:

target("hello")

Debug Program

To debug the hello, you need change to the debug mode and build it.

$ xmake config -m debug 
$ xmake

Then run the following command to debug target program.

$ xmake run -d hello 

It will start the debugger (.e.g lldb, gdb, windbg, vsjitdebugger, ollydbg ..) to load our program.

[lldb]$target create "build/hello"
Current executable set to 'build/hello' (x86_64).
[lldb]$b main
Breakpoint 1: where = hello`main, address = 0x0000000100000f50
[lldb]$r

If you want to use the specify debugger, try

$ xmake f --debugger=gdb
$ xmake run -d hello

!> You can also use short command option, for example: xmake r or xmake run
