        "depsDir": "./deps/",
        "cflags": "-O3 -std=c++17"
    },

    "targets": [{
        "name": "eokas",
        "type": "executable",
    
        "cflags": ["${cflags}"],

        "lflags": [],

        "defines": [
            "_WINDOW_WIDTH=800",
            "_WINDOW_HEIGHT=600",
            "_WINDOW_TITLE=\"my-demo\""
        ],

        "includes": [
            "-I${depsDir}"
        ],

            "-L${depsDir}",
            "-larchaism"
        ],

        "runtimes": [
            "@executable_path"
        ],
